The blank here should contrast with something that is direct and intelligible. Unnecessary recital of details should be avoided as it will confuse the audience. Hence the answer here is elucidation.

A is correct. You need elucidation or a clarification of an argument when is not clear.

Mystification is exactly the contrary: when you hidden something, diverting the truth from what it is in the end.
