The answer is D: a drama.

Drama is, in general terms, a form of representation with actors on stage. As such it could be categorized, in rough terms, as either a tragedy or a comedy. However, in colloquial terms, the word drama has also come to mean a play that is related more closely to a tragedy which are characterized by the solemnity of the performance, of a serious nature, which makes a protagonist struggle with forces stronger than himself or herself and that, through various plot twists, can present a sad ending, usually in the form of resignation or stoic solace, or sometimes even honorable death.

____ [38]

Answer:

Believe in yourself instead of conforming to the values of others.

Explanation:

Philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson in his essay "Self Reliance" argue about the effect of polite society on an individual's personal growth. Only self sufficiency is capable of providing freedom to an individual in discovering their true self and worth, bringing forth true independence on the individual.

He emphasized on the importance of an individual to follow their own voices rather than trying to conform to the dictates and values set by the society. He posits the issue of self reliance in oneself and the importance of the imaginary thinking capacity of an individual. He also argues that the most important realization for an individual is trusting himself. He promotes self reliance as an ideal virtue for everyone. "Believe in yourself instead of conforming to the values of others" best sums up the passage provided in the question.
