Answer:

D) to tell about her personal experience with the Paulding Light

Step-by-step explanation:

The writer tells us about her personal experience of the phenomenon called Pauldine Light.

She starts with the history of the place and phenomenon, how it has been presented and thought of, but this is not the central point of the story. It is not written as a travelers' guide to convince visitor, nor as to the definite evidence of the paranormal. The author even says they left "without any concrete evidence of paranormal activity or human manipulation" which leaves the question open. She merely describes her own experience, how she felt, how did it look and what she thinks about it.
