B. to dissect a literary work to determine its meaning

Explanation:

A literary analysis serves the function of closely examining a literary work to get its meaning.

This can be achieved through analysis of the theme, plot, subject matter, etc.

The diction used is also closely examined, the mood of the literary work is also dissected.
