Explanation:

Identify the core themes of Franz Kafka's literature

Franz Kafka's works, such as The Metamorphosis and The Trial, are famous for depicting characters trapped in bizarre, bureaucratic, and incomprehensible situations. These narratives consistently explore deep psychological struggles, existential dread, and the profound isolation of the individual.

Evaluate the given options against Kafka's literary style

• Option A ("Realizing your goals") and Option B ("Triumph over adversity") represent optimistic, resolution-oriented narratives that contradict the unresolved, tragic, and helpless nature of Kafka's protagonists.
• Option D ("Love after death") is not a defining characteristic of his major works.
• Option C ("Being alone and alienated") directly aligns with the central existential themes of isolation, social estrangement, and physical/emotional alienation (such as Gregor Samsa's transformation and subsequent neglect in The Metamorphosis).

Answer:

• (A) Realizing your goals
• (B) Triumph over adversity
• (C) Being alone and alienated (Correct answer)
• (D) Love after death
