Solution

The correct option is A Richard's illness took his life before he was able to enjoy the amazing early reviews of his novel/
Richard's book was published after his death from illness, hence he could not enjoy the first reviews. Therefore, Option C is correct. The rest of the options either do not affirm the death of an author or do not imply that the book is published after death, hence incorrect.
