Either B or C could apply, but I would say the best choice is C. Word choice is extremely important in short stories because the authors have to exercise "word economy", which basically means that since they have a limit on the maximum amount of words the can use, (because it's a short story) they have to pay close attention to which specific words they use, and the connotations of those words. Symbols are really significant in many short stories because they can illustrate deep meaning without using extensive metaphors and situations.

Answer:

B) The language in short stories is denser than the language in a novel.

Explanation

Because short stories are short, authors take great care to make every word count. Though C is a possibility, authors do not generally aim to incorporate a word for the sole purpose of adding more symbolism.
