Hi shibsriz,
This SC is based on Comparison rules, meaning that we have to compare LIKE things.
Here, we can compare Austen to Forster or we can compare Austen's characters to Forster's characters.
Answer A compares Austen to the characters of Forster, which is an invalid comparison.
With that insight, which answer would you choose?
