Answer:

B. the choice of words that creates the tone.

Explanation:

Diction refers to the choice of words that an author makes in a work of literature. These words create the tone, and allow the reader to know whether the work is formal or informal. It can also influence how the readers think of the characters. Effective diction is necessary if an author wants to convey the right tone and purpose of the work.

Let's reconstruct this sentence. 

"Everyone I know complain" doesn't make much sense. 
Popping an "s" on the end of "complain" might do the trick, lets try!
"Everyone I know complains" ah, there we go. Much smoother.


Next section!

"Complains because these days backpacks weigh a ton."

Though this may sound correct, it is still quite a bunch. Let's fix that.

Rearranging your words might work.
Maybe in the section that says "Complains because these days" we can change that to "Complains these days because" Much smoother, and easier to read. 

We have so far is:  "Everyone I know complains these days because" 

Yay, let's continue.

The remaining of the sentence is fine so we can put it on the end of our freshly constructed sentence.
Our final sentence should be:
"Everyone I know complains these days because backpacks weigh a ton."
