Read the passage from "The Red Umbrella" by Christina Diaz Gonzalez:

"Hey, Lucy, there's a note for you," Frankie said coming back inside.

"For me?"

"Yeah, it's from Ivette."

"I don't want it. Throw it away."

Mamá stopped sweeping. "Lucía, I know you're upset. But Ivette's been a good friend to you. She called three times yesterday. We can't blame her for what her mother thinks."

I could certainly blame her. And if Mamá knew what she'd done, then she'd understand why I was never going to talk to her again.

Which statement best explains a theme developed in this passage?

A. Once trust is lost, it is gone forever.
B. Friends are important for young people.
C. Despite the past, friendship overcomes hatred.
D. Over time, trust heals friendships.
