    • Prison walls

    • Prison room

    • Enormous room

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Enormous room
    Explanation
    Based on the question, it is asking for the book that he wrote based on his experience in prison. Out of the given options, "Enormous room" seems to be the most fitting answer as it suggests a connection to prison through the word "room." The other options, "Prison walls" and "Prison room," are too specific and do not convey the idea of a book. "None of the above" is not a plausible answer as it does not provide any alternative option. Therefore, "Enormous room" is the most reasonable choice for the book he wrote based on his prison experience.
