D. all of the above are correct.

Writing about too many events in a personal narrative can overwhelm the reader, make it difficult for the writer to stay focused on the primary theme, and limit the ability to provide detailed descriptions and depth to the selected events. Focusing on a few significant events allows for a more engaging and cohesive narrative.
