Showing that you understand the company and its culture demonstrates that you have done your research and are truly interested in working for the specific company. It also shows that you are a good fit for the organization and understand its values and goals. Simply summarizing problems at your current job (A) or explaining that you are seeking any job that needs your skills (C) may give the impression that you are not genuinely interested in this particular company. Telling the truth about your situation (D) may be appropriate in some cases, but it is important to focus on your interest in the company and how you can contribute to its success.
