The correct answer is option A. Immortality can be achieved in ways other than physical  existence.

Explanation:

These lines written by Ted Chiang want to convey the message that immortality goes beyond physical existence.

Immortality can be achieved, as the lines say, through a thought.

The important thing is that over time the essence of a person remains, and not their physical body. It is to be able to do something that reaches the people of the following generations so that they keep us alive forever. And as the author says:

"In that way I live again, through you."
