IMO Answer: C


"carefully coordinated with narrative" is describing illustrations and is not a necessary part for the sentence.

A lacks a flow. also them seems to refer to "in her book illustrations"

You can say that, but so can i that them incorrectly refers to Book (agreement error). One can certainly take a different path here by arguing that there was a book named "illustrations" written be the author making "them" wrong here. Atleast i thought the same, so it is better off to get away with the pronoun...
