D. The best way to heal from a tragedy is to make sure that tragedy is never repeated.

Explanation:

"The red bow" is a short story written by George Saunders and presents the story where a little girl was attacked by a rabid dog. The attack was so violent that the little girl died as a result. The girl's family was psychologically devastated by this tragedy and were more shaken when they saw that nothing was being done to protect other children from being attacked by these angry dogs. In this case, the little girl's family decided to start a movement in the community to promote a safer environment in which no child was attacked by any animal. This attitude of the family was what helped them to overcome the pain of the little girl's death, which shows us that the best way to cure the pain caused by a tragedy is to prevent this tragedy from recurring.
