The answer is B. the lack of ethics in dissection and animal testing

While social class and power dynamics are themes in some of H. G. Wells' works, "The Island of Doctor Moreau" primarily focuses on other issues. The novel does not center on a class struggle between the haves and have-nots.

This is the main theme of "The Island of Doctor Moreau." The novel explores the ethical implications of scientific experimentation, particularly the vivisection and transformation of animals into human-like creatures. Dr. Moreau's lack of ethical consideration in his experiments raises questions about the moral boundaries of scientific research and the consequences of playing God.

While apathy and communication issues can be found in various literary works, they are not the central themes of this novel. The story is more focused on the ethical dilemmas of scientific experimentation.

This theme is not the primary focus of "The Island of Doctor Moreau." The novel is more concerned with the ethical issues surrounding scientific experimentation and the treatment of animals.
