Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A (Mahakavya (Epic))

संस्कृत एवं हिन्दी काव्यशास्त्र में महाकाव्य के शास्त्रीय लक्षण में कहा गया है कि 'इतिहासकथोद्भूतं इतरद् वा सदाश्रयम्' अर्थात् महाकाव्य की कथा ऐतिहासिक अथवा लोक-प्रसिद्ध होती है।

In classical aesthetics, a fundamental defining characteristic of a Mahakavya is that its plot must be either grounded in recorded history or renowned traditional legend.
