Deconstruction is the best-known and noteworthy form of poststructural criticism. The concept was first outlined by Jacques Derrida in Of Grammatology published in 1976, so the correct answer is A. Derrida explained the interaction between language and the construction of meaning in this book.

He claims that rather than “destruction”, deconstruction signifies how the whole is structured and also restructured. It does not have a negative meaning.
