pop culture.


It's referencing Superman.


You could argue that Superman stems from a body of famous literary work (that is, the source comics), but that's probably not what they're looking for. As Superman is best known from a combination of comics, cinema, TV and merchandise, it's basically a pop culture reference.

Explanation:

Hi. Although you have not introduced the book this question refers to, we can see from the context of the question and the answer options that you are referring to the book "Frankenstein."

"Frankenstein" was written by Mary Shelley and tells the story of how Victor Frankenstein, a scientist fascinated by the possibility of creating life, manages to create a living being and suffers several consequences for this creation. Victor had been interested in science since his adolescence, but that interest was so great that it left Victor completely obsessed with the possibilities that science offered. He began studying non-stop, cutting off contact with family and friends. His goal was to fully focus on the study of science and the possibility of creating a living being, specifically, a human being.
