Read the theme statement Tori created based on her reading of White Fang. White Fang submits to Grey Beaver because he is afraid of punishment. Has Tori created her theme statement correctly? Yes; Tori has identified a deeper meaning in the story. Yes; Tori has identified a force that motivates White Fang. No; Tori has identified a force that motivates White Fang. No; Tori has identified a deeper meaning in the story.

C). No; Tori has identified a force that motivates White Fang.

Explanation:

Tori has incorrectly created the theme statement and the key reason is that she misidentified the force that has motivated White Fang to submit before Grey Beaver. In the given theme statement on the basis of her reading, she failed to recognize that 'it is the hostility and indomitability (seeing no scope for kindliness and affection) of other characters in the story' which made White Fang learn the code of 'obeying the strong, and oppressing the weak.' Since Grey Beaver was strong, he decided to submit to him. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
