Answer: B) Nonfiction.

Explanation: Both works consist of prose (option D, poetry, is discarded) without fictional elements (option A, fiction, is discarded), in which the author attempts to convey factual information from reality (option C, drama, is discarded), in this case, the author's insights about their own craft.
