A serious play with an unhappy ending is classified as a tragedy. Option B is correct.

Tragedy is a form of drama based on human suffering. It generated catarsis or pleasure in the audience.

It is a serious play or drama which usually addresses the problems of a main character. Tragedy is characterized by an unhappy or disastrous ending brought on, as in ancient drama, by fate and a tragic flaw in this character.
