The correct option is D

Montana Scalp's Novels: Critical Reflections on the Individual and on Society

This question asks you to identify the most appropriate title for the passage. Option (d) is the correct answer. The topic of the passage is Scalp’s novels, and the author emphasizes that the novels contain observations concerning ‘how individuals are shaped (or deformed) by their social environments’. In fact the entire first paragraph of the passage is devoted to the fact that Scalp was much more than just a poetic novelist; that she was a social visionary who tried to look critically at the individual, society and social systems.
