Answer:

The sentence which is written correctly is following one:

C.) Ms. Andrade showed us a documentary in class today because the film “focuses on a similar subject” to a book we are going to read.

Explanation:

In letters A and D, since we have the word "Focuses"- capitalized- it seems it refers to the name of the film, which is not the case. Plus, there is an unnecessary comma in letter D. In letter B, there is a comma right before "focuses on a similar subject", which is wrong, since it separates the subject- the film- from its predicate. Therefore, letter C is the way to go, since there is neither capitalization nor a comma. However, there is no reason for “focuses on a similar subject”  to appear between quotes.
