The correct answer is C. Myth

Explanation:

Myths are stories whose purpose is to explain how certain elements in the world or phenomenon originated. Moreover, these differ from other stories because they often involve gods or supernatural beings and they are specific to cultures or human communities. Besides this, myths are traditional texts because of this, in most cases, the author is not known and these are passed from one generation to another.

All of these features match the definition provided because only myths try to explain a phenomenon or explain how creation occurred. Also, these are traditional and usually anonymous.
