C and D are correct because "debauchery" (excessive indulgence in sensual pleasures) in the first blank aligns with the assumption that the characters in her stories lived wild or indulgent lifestyles. The second blank "licentious" (lacking moral restraint) contrasts with "prudish," meaning the author was more morally conservative than the characters or lifestyle suggested by the debauchery in her stories. This contrast makes C and D the best choices.
