Option A.

Explanation:

Both the writers of the novels, Jane Austen and Edith Wharton were very famous novelists and had a great collection of the novels written by both of them.

But there was some kind of similarities between the themes of the novels written by both the novelists were that both had written about the problems of sexuality and the gender discrimination in the novels. Both had written about the difficulties that the women had to go through in their lives and their problems were more than the men.
