Which of these is a theme found in The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton? Gentle souls are often disguised by rough exteriors. Rich kids and poor kids will never get along. Walking home alone will only lead to trouble. Watching a movie with someone can be uncomfortable.

Your answer is gentle souls are often disguised by rough exteriors. The others do not cover the overall theme of the book. Yes some rich and poor kids do not get along, but that is not an overall lesson. Also how often did they walk home alone. The story does not revolve around that. Last, Cherry was not a main character, she was not a main part of the plot. So your answer is once again the first one, it goes with the overall plot of the story.
