Answer:

Option A. A similarity that share archetypes, universal themes, and symbols is that they all transcend time and culture.

Step-by-step explanation:

In literature three common aspects often analysed are "archetypes", "universal themes" and "symbols". An archetype is a typical character or situation that seems to represent a universal trait of humanity. An universal theme is an idea or concept found in stories that applies to anyone regardless of culture, age, nationality, etc. And a symbol is a literary device that represents other aspects or traits that are often not easily perceived. All of these concepts transcend time and culture, and that is why you can find the same symbols, archetypes or universal themes in stories that were written in different centuries and by cultures completely different from each other.
