C. Naturalists assume people cannot choose their fate and, instead, are influenced by psychological and social forces.
Explanation:
Naturalism is an artistic and literary movement known to be the radicalization of realism, based on the faithful observation of reality and experience, showing that the individual is determined by environment and heredity.
General features of Naturalism are
Impersonality / Simple and lean language
Literary engagement (the author tries to convince the reader)
Determinism (man is the fruit of the medium / race / moment)
Not too sure, but I take it that the book satisfies his need for imagination temporarily, but also awakens a tier of satisfaction to be met, be it for more imagination or not.
