Also, it doesn't specify who "she" refers to.C) Similar to option A, "smatter" is not the correct comparative form. It should be "smarter," and the word "very" is not necessary in this context.D) This option lacks the comparative form "smarter" and doesn't provide the same level of comparison as the other options. It's less specific in conveying the degree of intelligence.
