Explanation:

To determine the most evident theme, we analyze each option:

• "Independence is a sign of selfishness" is a negative and inaccurate view of independence, not a common or positive thematic message.
• "Family traditions are unnecessary" dismisses the value of family traditions, which is not a typical or widely - accepted theme in most stories.
• "Children should always get what they want" promotes a self - centered and unrealistic idea, not a positive or common theme.
• "Courage comes from facing one’s fears" is a well - recognized and positive theme that is often explored in stories, as facing fears is a common way characters develop courage.

Answer:

D. Courage comes from facing one’s fears
