Answer:

A). Young soldiers don't know what they're getting into when they sign up for war.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question, option A i.e. 'Young soldiers don't know what they're getting into when they sign up for war' displays the statement which most appropriately expresses the poem 'Boy Soldier' authored by 'Fred D'Aguiar '. The poet discusses the difficulties of young soldier's life as they are completely unaware of the cruelty and brutal reality of the war(which they are entering into) but still, they have to sign up for many things which they have never dreamed of dealing with at such a tender age. Thus, the very title of the poem itself 'boy soldier' hints the poet's idea of 'difficulties and struggles faced by the young soldiers(which they are unaware of) when they enter into this new life of a soldier.' Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
