Answer:

Progressive

Explanation:

This is a clearly progressive statement because it departs significantly from traditional notions, i.e., conceptions established  at a previous time that persist historically through repetition, in this case, about what makes a piece of writing count as literature. The author rejects the traditional and broadly accepted idea that there is an intrinsic essence to literary texts that differentiate them from non-literary texts.

Ksivusya [100]
I believe there is a mistake in your choices, because I don't see the correct choice here. The correct answer should be ABAB ABCB.
This is because in the first stanza, the first line A (son) rhymes with the third line A (shun), and the second line B (catch) rhymes with the fourth line B (Bandersnatch) - which makes the first stanza ABAB. 
In the second stanza, the first line A doesn't rhyme with anything (hand), the second line B (sought) rhymes with the fourth line B (thought), and the third line C doesn't rhyme with anything - which makes the second stanza ABCB.
