Answer:
D.
Explanation:
An aphorism is a short statement that reflects wit and delivers a message or moral principle. An aphorism is identified by its length or use of number of words in the statement and the true value it consists.

<em>'No gains without pains'</em> is an aphorism which conveys the meaning that good fruits are produced in burying; there is no result without working hard for it.
