Answer: Elderly people should live life fully despite the difficulties of old age.
Explanation:
The most common theme in this poem by William Carlos Williams is referring to aspects of old age. This poem is wrote with poetic and simple language while he was using many literary devices and caring about form and structure.
The poet has represented old age and elder people trough symbolism of birds, trees, wind and more. His theme is focusing on that, that all people should live life fully and the difficulties in life should be always smaller than actual will for living. We can see the theme of the poem in the tittle too - ''To Waken an Old Lady''
Answer B and D are totally incorrect because they are translated and understood in a literary way although the poet is using many literary devices and symbolism.
Answer C is considering acceptance of poem's symbolism but it is not considering the main focus and theme of it which are the elder ones.
