C) The captions enhance the photographs by giving the photo a backstory and context.

D) Ian Fisher enrolls in the army, and shortly attends basic training. Fisher does well during training, making friends with peers and superior army members. He's then enlisted in the army, where he struggles to maintain his life within the army and outside it. Fisher battles a couple minor injuries and breakups, but overall remains happy. Fisher soon returns home, eager to see his family and friends.
