Explanation:

To determine the theme, we analyze the passage (about penguins, one being contemplative and colorful, suggesting a contrast between appearance and reality). The option "People can be different than they seem" aligns with this idea of hidden depth or difference from initial perception. Other options: "Respect" isn't supported, "Stories being true" and "Obvious answer correct" don't match the penguin - related context about difference.

Answer:

B. People can be different than they seem.
