The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can comment on the following.

Why is it so important to deal with the question of “legend” as it pertains to the resurrection?

It is so important to deal with the question of “legend” as it pertains to the resurrection because as we already know, the Bible is just a perspective of how things could happen and it has no scientific or historic base.

The Old Testament basically are the stories found in the clay tablets written in Cuneiform style, from the Sumerians. In the case of the Resurrection, the story is included in the book of Luke and refers to the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth. Luke is one of the fourth authors of the gospels. The other three are Mattew, Marc, and John.

However, none of those authors knew Jesus in person; they weren't even born. They based their stories on other sources. So nobody can prove that the gospels are true.

That is why the scientific community, researchers, and historians consider the Resurrection as a legend, in the absence of any true evidence. Let's remind that legends can fall into one of these three categories: stories from religions, literary style that is not historical, and embellishments.
