Definition of Theme As a literary device, theme refers to the central, deeper meaning of a written work. Writers typically will convey the theme of their work and allow the reader to perceive and interpret it, rather than overtly or directly state the theme. Since Theme and main idea are important components of any story. The main difference between the theme and the main idea is, the theme is a lesson or a moral whereas the main idea tells us what the story is about.

according to the passage the most suitable options are two. the first one is "by leading the aef to victory in several key battles" like the battle of saint- mihiel and the battle of cantigny mentioned in the passage you copied here. the second one is "by the aef and allied forces defeat germany" since the passage says that his army destroy the german resistance in the meuse- argonne offensive. and also, "by insisting that the aef operate as an independent force".
