The answer is option B "A short story set firmly in reality told to illustrate a moral or religious lesson." Parables are made strictly for religious or moral lessons for example bible stories for children or any other religious principle made to tell their beliefs to another person. Short stories are also good examples of parables because they have a moral that they want the reader to take to heart and learn.

I believe the answer is D (However) because C (Therefore) would not make sense as it means ‘for that reason’ or ‘consequently’, B (Then) is a time connective so that would not make sense as a transition word to connect the paragraph, and A (now) could be referred to as informal depending on how you use it, and it is commonly used as an adverb of time.
