Solution

The correct option is C To reveal background information
Option C: An exposition is 'a comprehensive description and explanation of an idea or theory'.
In literature, it's a literary device that introduces background information about events, settings, characters or other elements of a work to the reader. Hence option C is correct.
Options A, B and D: These options do not describe what an exposition is. Hence options A, B and D are wrong.
