Which best states the intention of John Steinbeck’s novel The Grapes of Wrath?

The Grapes of Wrath follows the Joad family as they leave Oklahoma during the Great Depression and travel west to California in search of work. Steinbeck uses their hardships to show the suffering and injustice faced by migrant families. This makes A, “to describe a family’s difficulties during westward migration,” the best choice; the novel is not a comical or upbeat family story.
