Explanation:

The story uses the metaphor of single sticks (divided team members, easily broken) versus a bundle of sticks (united team, unbreakable) to show that unity creates strength, while division makes a group vulnerable to failure. Option A directly matches this core message, while the other options do not align with the central lesson of the story.

Answer:

A. Being united gives strength while being divided leads to losses.
