Answer:

b) epic poetry

Step-by-step explanation:

Gilgamesh is in Old English. Stories, poems, etc., written in Old English are considered "epic", typically due to the age of the work. Sorry that I can't explain it better, but I loathed "epic" works such as Gilgamesh, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, etc...

It is most certainly epic poetry
