Answer: B.They synthesize evidence that supports the claim.

It is in the body paragraphs of a literary analysis that you need to synthesize evidence that supports the claim. One the claim of your essay is made, most of the essay will be dedicated to providing evidence for it, and in that way, make it persuasive. This occurs in the body of the essay.
