which of the following best explains the term compression?

b. using unconventional language and style

Explanation:

In the context of writing (a subfield of Arts - Literature/Linguistics/Writing), "compression" in writing refers to conveying a large amount of meaning, ideas, or content within a limited (small) textual space. Option A refers to reader - based experience utilization (not compression), Option B is about unconventional language/style (not related to compression), and Option C is about genre borrowing (not compression). So Option D best explains compression.
