Explanation:

An effective literary analysis thesis for multiple texts must 1) reference all works being analyzed, 2) establish a clear, causal or thematic connection between ideas, and 3) be specific. The first option only covers one text. The second option states a theme but no underlying causal link. The fourth option lacks specific text titles. The third option includes all three texts, connects the core tension (child vs. parent desires/dreams) to the resulting conflict/rebellion, and is specific.

Answer:

The difference between a child's desires and a parent's dreams can lead to conflict and rebellion, as shown in Amy Tan's "Two Kinds," Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior, and Jade Snow Wong's Fifth Chinese Daughter.
