The themes present in the poem "Oranges" by Gary Soto include love, maturation and poverty. The poem is an account of a first date between a young boy and girl. Although Soto never explicitly uses the word "love" to describe the relationship between the young couple, the emotion saturates the poem.

It's for sure not C. And I've never read the full story, but this passage doesn't indicate a depressing mood of foreshadowing danger. And the vocabulary in the writing doesn't impact the story itself.
