Answer:
A--the motif of death and disease
Explanation:
Foreshadowing is a literary device which is used by the writer to give a clue about the coming incidence in a story. Usually, foreshadowing occurs in the initial part of the story. It helps to build a raw image of what would be going to happen next in the story. It gives a hint of either a good or a bad situation arising in the coming part of the story. The motif of death and disease is symbolic of the coming of the destruction happening in the story.
