Understanding an author's culture helps a reader understand the meaning of a character's behaviour. The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

This allows us to understand the meaning of a character behaviour because we understand where the development of the character comes from. We can know if certain things or attitudes the character has, are usual or unusual for where it comes from.
