Read this quotation from an interview with Bharati Mukherjee and answer the question. The kind of criticism from literary critics and theorists who have encountered my own work stems from their belief that if you're India-born, you must write about India and you must write about an Indian woman or peasants being victimized It's absurd, when you think that I'm writing about the post-1965 immigration-transformed America, and that the majority of South Asians granted visas are urban, educated professionals and their families. The aim of fiction is to break down stereotypes. Unfortunately, the publishing and academic industries seem to profit more from reinforcing stereotypes.

Which excerpt from the passage best supports the ideas expressed in this interview?

"My horoscope, cast by a neighborhood astrologer when I was a week-old infant, predicted that I would be a writer, that I would cross oceans and make my home among aliens."
"I was born into a class that did not live in its native language. I was born into a city that feared its future, and trained me for emigration."
"My literary agenda begins by acknowledging that America has transformed me. It does not end until I show how I (and the hundreds of thousands like me) have transformed America."
"For all the hope and energy I have placed in the process of immigration and accommodation ā€“ Iā€™m a person who couldnā€™t ride a public bus when she first arrived, and now Iā€™m someone who watches tractor pulls on obscure cable channels ā€“ there are parts of me that remain Indian."
