    Carl Jung work would Penelope likely cite to explain the observation.

    Option D

    Explanation:

    There is frequent appearance of some characters, though the fact that the cultures Penelope is studying had little or no connection with each other. So, its most likely that Penelope would refer to Carl Jung's concept of archetypes, as he has been associated with such similarities.

    As Jung states, these archetypes are collective unconscious of the common content that is being observed. Such common contents have their different appearance in myths, dreams, art, and stories. Also, such characters appear in literature and can be traced back to myths such as the hero.
