This question refers to "Drum Dream Girl" by Margarita Engle.

The correct answer is option C. They highlight the powerful dreams the girl has about playing the drums.

Explanation:

The girl loved to play the piano no matter what others said.

It had always been her dream and the fact that their parents told her that only boys should play the piano did not prevent her from doing what she liked best.
