The correct answer is C. It adds credibility to a claim or argument.

Explanation:

Literary analysis are a type of academical papers in which the main purpose is to analyze, evaluate and examine different aspects of a work of literature, for example, a novel, poem, short story or play. This implies the author tries to explain relevant aspects for the literary work from his point of view, ideas and position about this, because of this, besides using her own words if Angie is writing a literary analysis using quotation or paraphrasing the play she is analyzing in the paper is necessary as these quotations or paraphrased ideas give some support to her words, this means using quotations show Angie's ideas  and arguments are consistent with the literary words and therefore are credible and can be believed. Thus, the purpose of textual evidence is to add credibility to a claim or argument.
