Explanation:

Daniel Wallace's "Big Fish" revolves around the story of a strained father-son relationship that was resolved after the death of the father. The story deals with themes of reconciliation, and how the son came to know the truth behind his father's tales.

Edward Bloom's narration of the numerous tales he had during his adventures led his son William to think he's just a 'boastful' man who makes up stories for his son. But after he became sick, William had to come to visit his father. This was because he knows his father is sick and dying, thus paving the way for the duo to reconcile. Moreover, William undertook an investigation to his father's storytelling which led him to a better understanding of the man and why he did what he did.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
