Q/A-a why not c
In option C, whose is referring to marine world which modifies the intended meaning of the sentence.
Plus the "credibility of the work" is reduced by the "depiction of scenes of life and death in the marine world with emotional overtones" not solely by the "emotional overtones" as mentioned in Option C
