Answer:

B. The author can portray a monster with powerful word choice that forces the reader to understand the monster's motivations.

Step-by-step explanation:

In many stories that deal with monsters, authors use language to express and develop the monster character, this is becaus ea well choosen language can help humanize and give context to the monster and help the reader understand the monster´s motivations and understand the development of its character, a great example of this would be Mary Shelley´s Frankenstein, and how the monster is developed by the writer.
