Answer:

Samuel Taylor Coleridge described "Kubla Khan" as a poem of "psychological curiosity", which is full of creativity, induced by a dream he had about a mongol emperor.

Since Coleridge was interrupted by other people while he was writing the poem, the piece is fragmented and incoherent due he couldn't remember the full vision of his dream afterwards, but he left it like that, honoring the rejection of the rational, the mysticism and the symbolism, typical in the Romantic period.

Romanticism used supernatural elements and imagery to bring out individualism, imagination and proximity to nature. Thereby (c.) & (d.)
