Can you explain why C is correct rather than choice B?

(B) is a very attractive answer, especially because of the match w/the word "thematic" in the passage. However, note that Kingston uses these personally remembered stories to CREATE something that is thematically organized -- they are not thematically organized to begin with. Instead, what we know is that the personal memories are somewhat unique, and (C) represents this idea correctly.

I thought "B" was wrong for a much more obvious reason: these "personally remembered stories" have nothing to do with "one's own past" as "B" states. Rather these are stories told by others in the oral tradition, which the author has memories of.
