Hi kmpaez,
Without knowing why you selected C, it's somewhat difficult to answer your question. Consider including more of your own thought process in future questions so we can see where the misunderstanding is.
This question stem asks you which answer choice is most strongly supported by the passage, so to solve the question you will want to locate lines that support your answer. To support answer choice D, I found this sentence: "The trickster, usually a dishonest individual who personifies antisocial traits, appears in Borom Sarret, Mandabi, and Xala as a thief, a corrupted civil servant, and a member of the elite, respectively." This sentence gives examples of characters from different social strata.
Only two sentences in the passage relate to critics, the first and the last. The first sentence is about what critics agree upon, and the author agrees too, so this doesn't relate to C. The last sentence suggests that "many critics" have been wrong about which culture more greatly influenced the filmmakers' work, but we don't know whether these critics were "in Senegal" or not. It's possible that in Senegal, the linkages between the films and West African oral tradition are widely understood rather than widely misunderstood.
