The correct answer is A.

The death of the rose foreshadows the death of the wife; the replacement of the rose with a mechanical one also foreshadows the mechanical wife he will build in her place.

Unfortunately, the result is the same - - machines are not a true replacement for the real world, and the man cannot replace his love with a machine.
