The correct answer is A. An interpretation of a work of literature supported by quotations details and personal responses.
B is incorrect because a literary criticism doesn't have to do with flaws only - it can show both the good sides and the bad ones. C is incorrect because it doesn't have to be a book. D is incorrect because a literary criticism refers to somebody's thoughts about a certain literary work, interpretations, etc.
