Answer:

c. dreary

Step-by-step explanation:

Le Morte d'Arthur was written by Thomas Malory and tells the story of King Arthur and the knights of the round table, being the most popular book about King Arhtur and his companions.

The book is based on English chronicles and presents a dreary tone, creating a heavy and serious atmosphere, especially in the last chapters, where Arthur's death approaches and the kingdom is the weight of losing a hero and an admirable leader.

The answer is: c. dreary.

The tone of a written work is the attitude of the author towards the subject. A dreary tone expresses a somber, gloomy perspective.

In "Le Morte D'Arthur," the writer narrates the story in a cheerless, dismal manner, creating a general feeling of mortality before Arthur dies.

The rest of the options are incorrect because the composition does not include neither irony or language to mock the characters for their actions, nor an educational or instructional point of view.
