If the passage were presented as a play, it would most likely differ from its current genre in the following way - D. the author might include dialogue for the roles of Defoe, Austen, and Hardy.

The main characteristic of a play is speech - be it dialogue, monologue, soliloquy, or something else. So, if there are sentences uttered by numerous characters, it is likely to be a play. So if this author wanted to spice things up and change the genre, adding dialogues would be the way to go.
