Answer:

I think it should be B. Epic poetry tends to have a fixed structure, whereas lyric poetry has an open-ended structure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lyric poetry is abstract, so it should have an open-ended structure.

Epic poetry is a narrative, so it usually follows the same fixed structure.
