Answer 1

It's an example of a short story.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C: a short story. It's not a novel since a novel is a long book. It's not a B: biography because it's a fictional story, not an account of someone's life. It's not D: autobiography because it's a fictional story not an account of a person's own life.
