Answer 2

The answer is indeed letter D. a humorous imitation of another work.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parody is an artistic work that imitates another work. It can be a movie, a video, a song, a speech, whichever genre or form. The parody has the purpose of exaggerating the characteristics of the original work for a comic effect. A famous example of a parody is the movie with the character Austin Powers. Powers is a comic representation of the notorious fictional spy James Bond. Several elements of the James Bond movies are repeated and humorously amplified in Austin Powers: attractive girls, unbelievable weapons, exotic locations, evil villains etc. They are all presented in a ridiculous manner, to provoke laughter in the audience.
