The correct answer is D. They both pass on values important to a culture
Step-by-step explanation:
Parables and fables are both different types of literary texts. In the case of parables, these texts can be written in prose or verse and mainly written to depict a moral or instructive lesson, especially in relation to religion or to Jesus teachings. Similarly, a fable depicts a lesson or moral, but uses animals, plants, and objects with human qualities (personification) instead of human characters as in the parable. Therefore both of these texts are used to show morals or teachings related to values and desirable behaviors, which are transmitted through generations and become an important part of cultures. Considering this, it can be concluded the feature parables and fables have in common is that "they both pass on values important to a culture".
