The correct answer is **A. They present readers with characters who can be understood at any time and in any place.**

Archetypes serve as universal symbols or themes that resonate across cultures and time periods, making it easier for readers to connect with characters and stories. While options B, C, and D have some validity, they don't capture the primary importance of archetypes in the same way. Archetypes help create relatable and familiar frameworks that enhance the reader's engagement and understanding of the narrative.
