The correct answer is B. Juvenalian

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of satire is to use humor, mockery, irony and similar devices to criticize a negative aspect of individuals or society. Additionally, satire is classified into three main types Mennipean, Horatian, and Juvenalian. In the case of Horatian satire, this is characterized by the use of mild or subtle humor to criticize the vices of people; this is just the opposite from the Juvenalian satire that uses harsh language and exaggeration to criticize people in a direct and abrasive way. Thus, Horatian satire is typically gentler than Juvenalian satire.
