The option that describes a deconstructionist approach to a text is - complicate the meaning of the text.
Deconstructionists like to dig very deep into the text, and find meanings that aren't obvious at the first, second, or even the third glance. They like to analyze texts to such an extent that they bare everything within their interpretation, and get to the very core of the text, thus complicating something that would otherwise have been a simple analysis.
