use other public hook

Explanation:

From the context, an excerpt is a short piece (like a few pages or a paragraph) of a book that makes the reader want to continue reading. Option b is about illustrations (not text excerpts), and option c is about publication location (unrelated to a text portion of the book). So option a matches the idea of an excerpt as a short text portion from the book.

Answer:

a. It is one paragraph from it.
