Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Never listen to strangers.

After Red Riding Hood naively tells the wolf where and why she was going, he distracts her by asking her to pick some flowers for her grandmother and meanwhile goes to her grandmother's place and eats the grandmother. From this we can deduce that it never serves well to trust strangers and talk or listen to them. So, we can say that the moral of the story is choice B- never listen to strangers. The other choices are incorrect as they do not fit the context of the story.
