Answer 1

Answer: C) A repeated symbol that has important significance to understanding the themes of the play

-----

A motif is a symbol that keeps showing up in a piece of literature and connects to a theme. You other most likely choice would have been choice B (which is the definition of a symbol), but choice B doesn't mention a connection to a theme, which is what is found in a motif.
