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"

Original Answer A

In C, remove the non-essential part which...narratives, and the sentence clearly makes sense
In A, them can't refer to book (singular), i was tempted to go for it, thinking them could refer observation and love for natural world. :shock: ABSURD

Hi Vinayak,

them IMO should refer to illustrations only....can you please tell to what else it should logically refer ?

Also can you please tell in a bit more detail...how A is lacking flow....

Hi Rahul,

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...
