The correct answer is D. Help readers follow your essay
Explanation:
Background information is the information related to the main subject or topic you are writing in your essay and that provides a short description of the subject or topic of the essay in the first paragraph of it. This means the background information is the section of the essay that introduces the reader to the main topic and that provides him with the information about it required for the reader to understand the author's ideas about that topic. Because of the previous reasons, the background information is key for the reader to understand and follow properly your essay, especially if the reader has never read about the topic of your essay or has little information about it. Thus, providing background information helps readers to follow your essay, as it explains them information related to the topic they need to have to understand your ideas related to that topic.
