B. A novel is a nonfiction piece of writing that contains data and facts.

C. A novel is a fictional narrative that provides a deeper understanding of human nature.

D. A novel is a short fictional narrative that focuses mostly on events.

My answer: I believe it is D.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. A novel is a fictional narrative that provides a deeper understanding of human nature. The new romances challenged the idea that the novel involved a realistic depictions of life, and destabilized the difference the critics had been trying to establish, between serious classical art and popular fiction. The authors of popular fiction tend to advertise that they have exploited a controversial topic and this is a major difference between them and so-called elitist literature. The proposal of novels is also to make writing accessible to a larger audience at a lower cost.
