The correct answer is A: the light of freedom will conquer the darkness of tyranny.

In the end of her speech, the politician Aung San Suu Kyi concludes by saying that the light of freedom has the power to spread over darkness and that "even the smallest light cannot be extinguished by all the darkness in the world" since darkness is the absence of light.
