Answer: c) the theme
The War of the Worlds is a novel by H. G. Wells, first published in 1897 by Pearson's Magazine. It tells the story of a conflict between humans and a race of aliens.
The novel was read aloud on a famous radio broadcast. An "urban myth" (as its veracity is disputed) says that when the broadcast aired on October 30, 1938 over the Columbia Broadcasting System radio network, it caused panic among the listening audience, who thought the alien invasion was a piece of news.
