Correct Answer: A writer who


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

There is an error of redundancy. In this context, the use of "who wrote this book" is redundant because if someone is identified as a writer, it is implied that he wrote a book.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: The writer has been selected for this year's literature award.
