Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Dunkirk, directed by Christopher Nolan, exhibits the same sustained use of crosscutting as seen in the work of D.W. Griffith. The film interweaves three different timelines - one taking place on land, one on sea, and one in the air - and cuts back and forth between them to create tension and build suspense. This technique is reminiscent of Griffith's use of crosscutting in films such as Intolerance and The Birth of a Nation.
