Epic poems have many characteristics. There is a "hero" who is important and has a significant ability or characteristic. There is usually a supernatural aspect, a villain of some kind, and an overlying theme.
There are also several technical aspects. The poet is usually objective, there is repetition in the wording, and an extended speech made by the "hero" is featured at some point.

Answer:
A Despite not explicitly discussing Hughes or his poetry, King etc.
Explanation:
As the title <em>Langston Hughes' </em><em>Hidden influence </em><em>on MLK </em>clearly shows, the central idea is the non-visible (at first sight) influence of Langston Hughes on MLK. Due to the fact that MLK didn´t explicitly discussed or mentioned L. Hughes, his influence is, therefore, hidden.
