This is definetly a tricky one, but you have to go back to the definition and meaning of 'theme.' A theme is the life lesson of a story or any other form of writing, movies, etc. So, I am not 100% on this, so I will say why I think for each answer. A; I definetly do not think it is A. B; doesn't sound right for me because even though the person in the poem is waiting for the bloom, he/she isn't talking just about waiting, he/she is talking about the time that is going by. C; It sounds like the cherry blossoms may bloom every year, but its not completely clear and doesn't fully match a theme. D; It sounds like the man/women is contemplating the life they have lived through seeing the cherry blossom for years. So I would say the and answer is D since that makes the most sense to me. Hope this helps! :)
