B. a process in a tragedy in which a character heals, often through a painful realization
Explanation:
A cathartic experience is one that gives some type of emotional release. In literature, the character has this release as a result of a painful experience that helps them realize something about themselves. The word comes from the Greeks, it's original meaning purification.
I would say maybe a narrative poem. If you want to capture the moment of when you saw a shooting star, then maybe you should tell it like a story but poem form.
