Explanation:

The passage shows Jose's family is moving, and Dad says "At some point in our lives, we all need to adjust to certain changes, and now, it’s your turn to do so." This implies that change is a part of life that everyone has to face. Option A is about hard work and results, not the main theme. Option B is about communication in family, which isn't the focus. Option C is about moving being exciting, but Jose was upset about moving, so that's not the theme. Option D matches the idea that change is inevitable as the family is moving and Jose has to adjust.

Answer:

D. Change is an inevitable part of life.
