Explanation:

The question asks for the best summary of a poem's subject about Helen Keller. Option A focuses only on struggle, which is incomplete. Option B compares her to other women without addressing her core achievements. Option C is irrelevant as it mentions her husband's fortune, not her own story. Option D highlights her inner strength enabling great achievements, which is a comprehensive and meaningful summary of her legacy often emphasized in literary works about her.

D. Helen Keller’s inner strength allowed her to achieve great things.
