The candle symbolize in the above excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich is death.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Leo Tolstoy was the greatest Russian writer and author of all time. It is considered that he's having secret a unique way of writing. In his work, "The death of Ivan Ilyich" he used the image of dark and light. He referred the candle to symbolize his imminent death of Ivan in the story.

Ivan was sick for a long and his life is approaching death as soon as possible. In this line, he explained about the view of life and death.  In the darkness, there was huge pain due to the illness. So he tried to light the candle as it extinguishes so as his life.

Thus he can be really free from the pain and he tried to light the candle up. He failed and kept on falling into the darkness again. Also, there is the true essence of light in the candlelight. That is there is a light after death since his life in the physical world has ended. That, in turn, leads a path towards the Spiritual world.
