Based off of the definition of epic, it states that an epic is a long poem that is typically passed by oral tradition, revolving around legends or heroes or a country's past.

With that definition, I would write down letter C because of the process of elimination:

A) Does not define an epic - nothing about character development

B) Does not define an epic - nothing about a series of short stories

D) Does not define an epic - oral tradition would mean that it is passed by spoken words, not written down
