In the image, a woman is seen kneeling before the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, paying her respects to an unidentified American soldier from World War I.

C. , it serves as a final resting place for countless war heroes. The woman's solemn posture and bowed head reflect deep reverence and honor for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
