Answer:

F. Psychological Novel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sigmund Freud is regarded as the "father of psychology" and his theories relating to the human consciousness gave rise to the genres like these which came to be popularly known as the "Psychological Novel". It is also known as "psychological realism" lays its chief emphasis over the internal characterization along with the impulses, circumstances, internal conflicts and the actions led by it. These novels provide equal importance to internal conflicts as to external conflicts. Modern novels like"Mrs. Dalloway" by Virginia Woolf had an obsession with this genre. "Hamlet" by Shakespeare, James Joyce's "The portrait of the artist as a young man", etc. are the other novels that contain the enormous characteristics of this genre exemplifying the inner workings of human mind leading to the unexpected actions as we have witnessed the Hamlet's actions.
