The correct answer is C) To explain something complicated with a simple statement.

Generalization is used in literature to explain something complicated with a simple statement.

In general, speaking, when we refer to the term generalization, we are saying a broad statement to is applied to different cases. We can say that because many cases have similarities and the general statement is valid for all. In the case of literature, generalization helps an author in that it defines something in a short explanation. When it is not the moment to refer to details, a generalization can give the readers an idea of the situation at hand. That is when the author uses general words such as "always," "never," "generally," or "sometimes," just to name a few.
