A.  Christa chose to write a literary critique of the novel Oliver Twist.

An infinitive phrase will include the word “to” in addition to a verb.  For instance, “to run,” “to sleep,” and “to laugh” are all infinitives.  If the word “to” is followed by a noun, “to” would be a preposition.  And, an object is the recipient of the action/verb.  With that in mind, in Option A we can see that “to write” is receiving the action “chose,” which makes “to write” a direct object.
