D.) Piers Plowman
is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

D. Piers Plowman.

Explanation:

Piers Plowman is an allegorical poem by William Langland and except for this one the other three exemplifies the famous epics worldwide where "The Odyssey" is a classical (Greek) epic poem by Homer, "Paradise Lost" is a seventeenth-century epic poem by John Milton and "The Aeneid" is a Latin epic poem by Virgil. The epic poems illustrate a long narrative poem with a vast setting, superhuman characters, supernatural elements, etc. to tell the heroic tales or impart a moral lesson(as Milton to justify the way of Gods) which are culturally significant. Thus, except for the last one all three are epic poems.
