The answer is option C (heroic characters).

Step-by-step explanation:

In literature, an epic is a long poem in which characters have heroic qualities. The epics narrate oral tradition adventures.

For example, Beowulf is a British national epic written in old English. Its protagonist is a hero of the Geats.

Another famous epic is The Divine Comedy by Dante, in which the main character has the ability to visit souls in hell, purgatory, and paradise.
