Solution

The correct option is B the target reader is young and has an impressionable mind.
according to the passage "The content of school textbooks is often the issue of debate, since the target audience of school textbooks is young people, and the term 'whitewashing' is the one commonly used to refer to selective removal of critical or damaging evidence or comment." This means that the school textbooks are read by young children and they have tender minds that can be moulded and influenced according to what is told to them.
So, the most appropriate answer is B) the target reader is young and has an impressionable mind.
