I'm guessing C because it was so obsessed with language that not many uneducated people would like it... I don't think it's B because there really weren't large numbers of highly educated people until several decades after WWII.

none of these three.
the vorticist magazine 'blast' and the futurist and surrealist manifestoes make it quite clear that modernist literature was not 'aimed at' anybody in particular.
the notion that literature 'belongs to' one class or another was precisely what the modernists were attacking.
there were important modernist critics and auteurs from all levels of society, and at all levels of educational background. ezra pound was a university don (though he was sacked). kiki de montparnasse and toyen were pretty much self-educated.
....
who asks such dumb questions?
