Answer:

The magi symbolize the spirit of giving.

Explanation:

Although all the answers are correct, this is the statement that BEST represents the use of symbolism in the story because this is the statement that shows a metaphor that is carried throughout the whole story. The magi are the wise men who visited Jesus and gave him presents. They are used as a symbol to show the spirit of giving. The story also identifies the magi with the two lovers, as they have truly understood the spirit of giving, and are, in this way, as wise as the magi.
