A Correct answer
Explanation

Pretensions refers to claims or aspirations to distinction or excellence that may not be justified, which perfectly captures the idea of a book that doesn't falsely claim to be great literature. Apprehensions means fears or anxieties, airs refers to affected behavior, and posing doesn't grammatically fit.
