    I don’t think D is correct. I’ve written a lot of papers and looking at the choices; A is correct because your thesis can be general in the beginning, but should become more focused the more you research and write; B is correct because if you are doing the research, it’s because you’ve come up with an "original perspective", otherwise, research would be pointless; C is the common error because your thesis represents one idea, not a whole bunch; and D is correct because you want to be specific in what you are researching.

    So I would go with C.
