C. The exploration of which dreams are realistic for people who are discriminated against.

Explanation:

This is one of the themes that A Raisin in the Sun explores. In this story, each member of the family has a different dream about what to do with the insurance money. They also have different paths to get these, ranging from post-secondary education to trying to make money quickly. However, many of these paths are impossible or extremely complicated fo people who are discriminated against. The author encourages us to realize how discrimination can impact people's available choices in life.
