Explanation:

• Complex sentences (A): Can sometimes make the text more convoluted and harder to understand if not used carefully.
• Several points of view (B): May confuse the reader rather than clarify the meaning, especially if not well - integrated.
• Careful organization (C): Helps in presenting ideas in a logical sequence, making the prose easy to follow and understand. For example, in an essay, a well - organized structure with an introduction, body paragraphs with clear topic sentences and supporting details, and a conclusion helps the reader grasp the overall meaning.
• Reader response (D): Is about the reader's reaction after reading, not about ensuring the clarity of the prose itself.

C. Careful organization
