Explanation

A problem-solution structure fits because the essay can explain why dark, grotesque stories are unsuitable for children and how rewriting them addresses that problem. Giving examples of the problems and the changes that solve them develops this structure clearly. Choice C mentions a reason for rewriting but does not explain the problem and its solution as fully.
