The correct answer is:

**It requires readers to infer, or guess at, the story’s meaning.**

Ambiguity in flash fiction often encourages readers to engage more actively with the text, prompting them to derive their own interpretations and meaning from the story. This can create a deeper emotional resonance and invite multiple perspectives on the narrative, rather than providing straightforward conclusions.
