Which statement is true about planning to write a short story? a. short stories require relatively little time in the prewriting stage of the writing process. b. during the prewriting stage, it is important to come up with a theme for the story. c. the planning stage typically follows the drafting stage. d. main characters and setting should be decided upon after the prewriting stage.

The correct answer is B. During the prewriting stage, it is important to come up with a theme for the story.

When you are prewriting, you are deciding on what you actually want to write about - in this stage, you should think about the topic, the themes, the characters, and give your story an outline that you are going to decorate with details later on.

A is incorrect because both can be long or short, depending on your inspiration. C is incorrect because it is the other way round. D is incorrect because you decide on this during the prewriting stage, not after.
