The theme that is most likely to be inferred from a story that is focused on an external conflict is option A. Humans are vulnerable to the forces of nature. The remaining options are all about internal conflict.

External conflict is a struggle between the main character and some outside force. Therefore, it is outside the body of the protagonist. Often, it takes place when the protagonist struggles against the antagonist, a character that opposes the protagonist in the main body of the story. Other types of external conflict could also arise due to some other factors including the forces of nature, and society in which the protagonist lives.
