The correct answer is B. Active sentence construction leads to clear writing because a) it uses fewer words and b) it clarifies exactly WHO is performing the action of the sentence. On the other hand, if one's vocabulary is too complex, the reader may get confused. Similarly, redundant word choice makes for wordy, complicated writing, which may also confuse the reader. Finally, complex sentence structure can also confuse the reader. Active sentence construction is important for clarity.
