Explanation:

To determine the theme, we analyze each option. Option B focuses on the consequence of acquiring things dishonestly (dissatisfaction), which is a common literary theme about morality and material gain. Option A is about children's naivety regarding guilt, Option C about parent - child and elder respect, and Option D about the source of guilt. If the passage likely deals with dishonest acquisition and its outcome, B is correct.
