Its importance can lead to the preparation of
a monograph of an eminently theoretical and practical nature. Finally, it should
pay attention to your originality, especially because the higher the degree of originality,
the greater the interest of the community will be in relation to the monograph. This does not mean
necessarily that it must be absolutely original, but the way of handling it, yes.
One of the most important items for an interesting thesis is:

Response d.
Selected: The originality of the question in relation to the theme, even if already
discussed several times earlier.
Answers: a.
The number of pages: if few, the work is insufficient from the point of
quality view; if many, the work lacks focus.
