Which scenario is an example of a topic that the universal theme for a particular work may cover? person confronts nature a guide to grammar and language person achieves the american dream challenge of owning a business

The correct answer should be person confronts nature.
A universal theme is something that can be applied anywhere - to any culture and part of the word. 
A guide to grammar and language is not universal because there are so many languages in the world with their distinct grammars; people achieving the American dream is obviously not universal given that it refers to America only; challenge of owning a business is not universal either because not everyone owns a business. Therefore I'd choose the first option. 

Its A: person confronts nature
