Explanation:

"Frankenstein" explores the consequences of scientific innovation (technology) when not balanced with ethics. The story reflects concerns about how unchecked technological progress (like creating life artificially) can be feared by society. Option A is incorrect as the novel doesn't focus on fear of religion. Option B is wrong since germs weren't a societal fear focus here. Option D is incorrect as invasion isn't the theme; the focus is on technology's risks.

Answer:

C. Society’s fear of technology
