The correct answer is C. Setting
Step-by-step explanation:
In literature, including short stories, novels and myths the word "setting" refers to the context in which the events told during the literary work take place, this includes the geographical conditions such as the places or scenarios, the weather and existence of mountains, rivers or similar; the historical period or century and the social context such as the social class in which the story takes place. This features of the story affect other elements including the values of the characters and the mood of the story. Considering this, if Pavel has written the question "In what kind of climate did the people of this culture live?" he is mainly concerned about the context or setting in which the story takes place in terms of geographical conditions which are part of the setting. Additionally, this probably helps him understand other elements in the myth and the cultural context of the myth-tellers as cultures are affected by the geographical context in which they emerge.
