Answer: Letter A. By having the narrator recall the story's past events and giving hints about what happened.
Explanation: As read in the paragraph above, and extract of H.G. Wells, "The War of the Worlds" published in the year of 1898, it is mentioned that the Martians consider the mind of the human to be inferior, the same way we consider beasts on Earth and that they will surely have plans against humanity, making the narrator remember the moment.

Answer:
Option D. To comment about an issue facing society
Explanation:
There are many definitions of theme. But most of them have most of the point common.
Theme may be defined as "It is deeper meaning of the story running beneath the surface meaning of the story/poetry etc. I helps reader understand the deeper meaning of the story and understand some aspects of human conditions"
Literature has always been considered mirror of life - it reflects our society either directly (Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales) or indirectly (Keats' "The Fall of Hyperion: A Dream). So in most cases the purpose of the theme of a literary work is to comment about an issue faced by society.
Option A is not correct because main element of theme's definition is missing in it i.e human conditions, society.
Option B is not correct also because elements of mystery and surprise are not integral parts of a literary work, while theme is an integral part.
Option C is also not correct: There's no doubt that author's life experiences shape his/her style of writing and the themes he or she chooses for his/her work. But theme is not just about author's life experiences - it is about society's life experiences.
It is your opinion so I would rather have you think about it, and give your point of view. And I didn't do this for the five points. :)
