I believe A, Distorted is used incorrectly. Where "Distorted by pain" would be correct since it is a feeling but "distorted by smiles" is incorrect seeing as 'distorted' means - to be twisted out of proportion; to alter to give an unnatural picture or account. Or, To twist out of a natural, normal, or original shape or condition.
