A nonfiction work is described as the written works that aim to provide content that purports a conviction to proffer factually true and accurate information to the readers. Therefore, a nonfiction author's purpose for the creation of work would help deduce if the specific work 'is based on factual information' as it is the chief objective/goal of a non-fictional work. Although the non-fiction work aims to either amuse or inform the readers from the content, but it must provide factually accurate information as incorrect information of conclusion based on it may ruin the validity and credibility of the work. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
