Explanation:

Analyze the genre and authorial intent

Using the Elie Wiesel, Autobiographical Literature, and Authorial Intent knowledge points:

• A memoir is a form of autobiographical writing where an author shares personal experiences and emotional truths from a specific period in their life.
• Elie Wiesel wrote All Rivers Run to the Sea to reflect deeply on his personal journey, focusing on the profound, traumatic impact that the Holocaust had on his life, identity, and faith.
• While his broader work advocates against oppression, the specific choice of the memoir genre serves to convey personal, lived trauma rather than to directly lobby world leaders, document objective national history, or instruct other survivors.
• Therefore, the statement that best explains this choice of genre is "to reveal the traumatic impact the Holocaust had on his life."
