Answer:

A. An ancestral curse that complicates the lives of modern-day  characters

Explanation:

Gothic literature is a literary genre that fuses elements of horror, fiction, terror, death, curse and romance.

English author Horace Walpole is credited as the originator of Gothic fiction through his novel The Castle of Otranto.

One of the key element of Gothic fiction is sublime or the ability to go beyond ourselves.

The story combines mystery, curses, revenge and murders as its major themes.

Gothic literature is a new kind of literature that can be seen as an extension of Romantic fictions. It develops from the romantic idea towards a more mysterious and dark romance often thriller. Gothic fiction also grows from mythical stories as well as folk tales.
