Theme: a recurring idea; a motif
Motif: a recurring or dominant element; a theme.

So, you know that theme and motif are the same things which should tell you that one cannot be a component to help understand the other, which rules out A and B.  
We know D is WRONG because those components are related.  

So your answer is C.
