I believe the correct answer is C. because swift uses fictional names, the reader understands that the poet is not telling a story about actual people.
Strephon and Celia are names that Swift made up in order to distance his story from any actual people that he may have based his characters on. He wants his audience to understand that there is no connection between his characters and the actual world outside his novel.

Because Swift uses fictional names, the reader understands that the poet is not telling a story about actual people.
