C.
The shared theme is the inevitability of fate. *Animal Farm* illustrates this through the deterministic cycles of revolution, while *Lord of the Flies* portrays fate through the boys' predetermined descent into chaos.

D.
The shared theme is the corrupting influence of power. *Animal Farm* shows this through the pigs, especially Napoleon, who become indistinguishable from the humans they overthrew. *Lord of the Flies* shows it through Jack's rise to dominance and the boys' descent into savagery. The novels differ in setting and narrative style but both illustrate how power leads to moral decay.
