The correct answer is C. homophonic music that allows the singer's voice to predominate.

It is a type of singing that was used in ancient Greece when only a single person was supposed to sing. This is unlike the choral singing that occurred during other parts of the play. Nowadays, its meaning changed and it stands for any poem where someone's death is being lamented.
