What can studying the behavior of culture you to better understand about the characters in a story

Whether the characters are following the rules or defying traditions.

Explanation:

In many works of literature, we encounter characters who have to chose between following tradition or defying social rules. This is an important character trait, as it allows us to understand whether the character is traditional, risk averse, risk taking, independent, rebellious, or any other character trait. However, it is impossible for us to establish that unless we are knowledgeable about the behaviour of a particular culture.

the answer is d. the theme is the central message in the text. the plot and the characterization build up the theme. thus it is not direclty mentioned in the text.themes are universal can be taken out and applied to other texts.

whereas the   central idea is stated directly in the text. the reader learns what   the story is about to the central idea.main ideas are not universal because they only apply to the text they belong. we can say they are unique.
