Answer: D. the blending of pagan and Christian traditions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Beowulf is a famous Old English Epic poem, and also the longest preserved Old English poem. It tells a story about a Geatish hero called Beowulf, and his fight against the monster, Grendel, and his mother.
Throughout this poem, there is a mixture of pagan elements such as fate, pride, and revenge and Christian faith. There are many references to the Bible and God. This mixture is not unusual, because the Anglo-Saxons practiced paganism until they converted to Christianity in the seventh century.
