The correct answer is C. symphonic poem.
Although it is styled as an Overture-Fantasy, when it comes to the actual structure of this composition, it is a symphonic poem after all. It's not an opera or a character piece, but rather a poem based on Shakespeare's play which was made into a composition using instruments and an orchestra.
