Right in the middle there lay the body of a man sorely contorted and still twitching. They drew near on tiptoe, turned it on its back and beheld the face of Edward Hyde. He was dressed in clothes far too large for him, clothes of the doctor's bigness; the cords of his face still moved with a semblance of life, but life was quite gone: and by the crushed phial in the hand and the strong smell of kernels that hung upon the air, Utterson knew that he was looking on the body of a self-destroyer.

"We have come too late,” he said sternly, "whether to save or punish. Hyde is gone to his account; and it only remains for us to find the body of your master.”

The correct answer should be Evil can never truly hide itself.

Hyde is finally revealed as to who he is and what is he doing there. The last two possible answers are not themes but rather plot elements, while the second is not found in this paragraph.
