Answer 1

C) melodrama

Step-by-step explanation:

Melodramas in literature and drama have a significant effect and importance. Melodrama is one of the dramatic forms in which the emotions and feelings are exaggerated. The events, characters, and the setting have an exaggerated note. The emotions and excitement are focused largely and the audiences' emotions are evoked. In this form, the effect on the audience is laid more than any other form.
