It can't be C because a Bildungsroman shows growth of the protagonist.
I doubt if it's A because heroes understand their faults -- at least some times.
I'm not familiar with Caldwell's novel.

You do not need to be familiar with it, it’s likely just a pretend novel that was thrown out in the answers. Basically, the question is asking which one of these answers illustrates what a Bildungsroman is. A Bildungsroman is about the growth of the protagonist Both Morally and psychologically. I chose D because if the protagonist is going to grow, she would have to overcome many obstacles to make that happen. Seems like the best fitting answer
