The correct answer is the following: option d. The segregation of Maycomb County in the novel is an example of the setting and the context of the story. The racial segregation of Maycomb County helps to build the setting of the novel, which is the deep south of the United States during the Great Depression. The segregation helps to give an idea of how the setting affects, and in some way, makes the story possible to happen. But it also gives the context of the story, as it is in an racially segregated community that the story occurs. Racial inequality is the main theme of "To Kill a Mockingbird" and so it makes sense that the story is set in a segregated location, with a context intertwined by segregation.
