forms of culture-those which held the community together-were linguistic and based in history. According to them, modern literature, even though it might be remarkably rich, was artificial and thus could not express the genuine essence of Volk culture that emanated naturally from experience and bound the people together.

Answer: D. to inform readers of the reasons why the Grimms more often be artificial collected their tales.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from "How the  Grimm Brothers Saved the Fairy Tale" we can see the description of the reasons why the Grimm Brothers concentrated on old German epics, tales and literature instead of concentrating in modern literature, that is because they thought modern literature was artificial and old literature was the most natural and pure form of culture. So the purpose of the text is to inform the reader about those reasons.
