Answer: C Realism

Step-by-step explanation:

The literary and art movement of Realism began in France, in the 1840s. This movement was characterized by its rejection of Romantic ideals that put too much emphasis on emotion, imagination, drama and the individual's subjective point of view, and idealized subjects. Instead, Realism focused on depicting social realities and its problems, the lives of ordinary people, and common and everyday settings as they were, with accuracy, without trying to embellish them and without avoiding unpleasant aspects of life.
