Correct answer: C
Concept
Analytic writing assessment separates dimensions so that form, suitability, breadth, and organization are judged independently.
Accuracy concerns control over linguistic and mechanical forms; the other dimensions describe elaboration, contextual suitability, or breadth.
Application
The listed features—grammar and lexis, spelling, punctuation, and handwriting—are controls over correctness of form. Therefore, the relevant criterion is Accuracy.
Contrast
Complexity concerns structural elaboration and coherent organization beyond simple forms.
Appropriacy concerns suitability to the task, audience, purpose, format, and register.
Range concerns the breadth of vocabulary and grammatical structures available to the writer.
Cross-check
A correction to a misspelling or punctuation mark can improve control of form without changing audience fit, vocabulary breadth, or organizational elaboration; that isolates accuracy.
Result
Thus, the aspect is Accuracy.
