Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

The expression “make interesting reading” is an idiomatic structure in English meaning to be engaging or enjoyable to read.

In this structure, “much” is used as an intensifier before the adjective phrase “interesting reading” to mean “very” or “greatly.”

So the sentence means:

The novel is very interesting to read.

This usage is common in formal or literary English.
