• charles schulzs childhood disappointments led to his interest in writing a comic strip.
• charles schulz used his peanuts comic strip to express feelings about his own life.
• charles schulzs \little red - haired girl\ was a symbol for unrequited love in the peanuts comic strip.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• First option: The details include more than just childhood disappointments (e.g., the "Little Red - Haired Girl" is related to adult romantic rejection, not just childhood), so this option is too narrow.
• Second option: The first detail shows he used a rejection (from yearbook) for a comic strip, the second shows he based a character on his real - life romantic experience, and the third shows he exposed inner torments through his work. All these support that he used the "Peanuts" comic strip to express his own life feelings.
• Third option: This option only focuses on the "Little Red - Haired Girl" character, while the details also include the yearbook rejection and the general idea of expressing inner torments, so this option is too narrow.

Answer:

B. Charles Schulz used his Peanuts comic strip to express feelings about his own life.
