B. C. D.

Explanation:

Edgar Allan Poe presents his stories in a peculiar setting with peculiar characters. His themes reveal creepy settings, which means causing an unpleasant feeling of fear or unease as in 'The Fall of the House of Usher' or 'The Tell-Tale Heart. Poe's themes explore human psychology as in the 'Tell-Tale Heart'. By exploring evil tendencies of human beings, Poe's themes suggest the importance of societal reform.
