Why does the movie version of a book often differ from the original text of the novel?

1) The screenwriter did not read the same version of the novel that you did.
2) A screenwriter's job is to make the movie as different from the novel as possible.
3) Everything is open to multiple interpretations.
4) Nothing ever looks the same in a movie as it did in the novel

A movie version of a book is often different from the original text of a novel because everything is open to multiple interpretations. One example is The Maze Runner books. The movies are very different from the original books. The correct answer is C/3.
