C) The similarities and differences between ideas are unclear.

This option indicates a lack of cohesion in the writing because clear connections between ideas are essential for cohesive writing. If the similarities and differences are unclear, it can make it difficult for the reader to follow the argument or understand the relationships between concepts.
