Answer
A

B
The difference between a child's desires and a parent's dreams can lead to conflict and rebellion, as Amy Tan, Maxine Hong Kingston, and Jade Snow Wong show.
C
The difference between a child's desires and a parent's dreams can lead to conflict and rebellion, as shown in Amy Tan's "Two Kinds," Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior , and Jade Snow Wong's Fifth Chinese Daughter .
D
There is a difference between a child's desires and a parent's dreams, as shown in Amy Tan’s "Two Kinds."
Explanation
A strong thesis makes a specific, arguable claim and identifies the works that support it. Choice C argues that differing desires and dreams can cause conflict and rebellion, then names all three works. Choice A mainly announces a topic, while B names the authors but not the works; D is too narrow because it refers to only one work.
