The excerpt mainly focuses on the general idea that television has a bad influence on children, so I would say the best answer choice is "television has a bad influence on children." It doesn't focus too much on the three types of shows, but otherwise that would be the second best answer. Let me know which one is correct, but I believe it's B.
A) is a complex sentence
Complex Sentence consists of 1 independent clause and 1 dependent clause.
As she was unable to swim- dependent clause (it can't be a sentence on its own)
Lena didn't want to go to the pool party- independent clause (it can be a sentence on its own)
If a dependent clause comes before the independent clause, there has to be a comma joining the 2 clauses.

Hi There!
Question - Cryptology, the study and use of secret codes, has been an important component of US military strategy since it was first used in the American Revolution to hide sensitive communications from British forces.
How does the author introduce the reader to code talkers?
Answer - by presenting an interesting fact
Why - The reason I say its option A is because the fact that it makes the most sense in a way that, the other options don't make any sense. Option B says telling an entertaining story when its not a story. Option C makes no sense because the first sentence dosen't contain a quotation. Option D makes no sense because the first sentence dosen't ask a question.
Hope This Helps :)
