Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the theme of "An Uncomfortable Bed" regarding faulty assumptions. Option A states that one faulty assumption can destroy even the deepest of friendships, which aligns with the story's theme where a faulty assumption (thinking friends are playing a prank) leads to self - created chaos and strains the relationship - like situation (though the story is about the narrator's paranoia affecting his experience, the core idea of a single faulty assumption having a major negative impact on interpersonal dynamics (here, his interaction with friends) matches. Option B is about embarrassment, which is not the main theme. Option C is about testing assumptions before sharing, not the focus. Option D's comparison of faulty vs no assumption is not the story's theme.

Answer:

A. One faulty assumption can destroy even the deepest of friendships.
