d. the process was highly subjective
structuralism relied of introspection (or self recording) as the sole means of data collection, which many critics deemed unreliable.
The correct option is D.
Structuralist critics analyzed material by examining underlying structures, such as characterization or plot, and attempted to show how these patterns were universal and could thus be used to develop general conclusions about both individual works and the systems from which they emerged.
Other critics argue that structuralism was too concerned with internal behavior, which is not directly observable and cannot be accurately measured. Also, because introspection itself is a conscious process it must interfere with the consciousness it aims to observe.
