b. Seamlessly weaving flashbacks into present-day action, the author creates a unique story of the events that occurred during the Holocaust in Nazi Germany.

This answer focuses on plot and structure. The plot of a story is the order of events in which the story unfolds. This thesis statement explains that the plot structure is not linear, it doesn't not go in chronological order. Instead it is interrupted by flashbacks. In this way way the author can show an event that has previously happened before the main plot of the story.

Options A and C are not thesis statements. Option D focuses on figurative language rather than plot and structure.
