The manifest content of a dream is the literal events that occur in the dream, in this case being naked and without homework at school. The latent content is the underlying meaning or symbolic interpretation, which in this case is the fear of being exposed as imperfect. Therefore, A is the best answer as it accurately reflects the manifest and latent content of the dream.
