The correct answer is option C." People without much education can be as wise as well-educated people".

Explanation:

The book " I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou is a coming-of-age autobiography that tells the story of overcoming racism and trauma. The author portrays the power of education in her book, because through reading is how Maya got confidence to speak out and tells about her problems. Also, one central idea of the book is that people without much education can be as wise as well-educated people. This is noted by how Maya overcomed her problems by reading, without the opportunity of attend school since it was segregated and black people were not allowed to get education.
