Deconstructionist is the approache that focuses on an author’s use of metaphor, irony, symbolism, and characterization and how they contribute to a text’s meaning. Option D is correct.

Jacques Derrida refered to deconstruction as a critique of the relationship between the text and the meaning of it.
