I made a typo and corrected the original post, thanks for pointing it out.

The answer given is C, but I think this changes the meaning of the sentence. I agree that the answer should be A.

The sentence states that the author discusses three things. These three things must be parallel in structure. the first two elements: "her early years" and "her desire to become an actress" are parallel noun phrases, but the third element "how she made her debut on the stage" is a verb phrase and is not parallel to the other two. To make them parallel, the third part must be modified as follows: "her early years"; "her desire to become an actress"; and "her debut on the stage".

Please note that "author discusses how she made her debut on the stage" is practically the same as "author discusses her debut on the stage" and therefore C does not change the meaning of the sentence.

Hope that helps :)

I see that we have a discussion of "changing the meaning of the original" I just wanted to direct you to the following post based on research I have done into the matter of "eliminating answer choices based on changing the meaning of the sentence."
