I say Tragedy.
I have read Edgar Allan Poe‘s “Annabel Lee”
That saying, during the whole poem, I had the vibe of tragedy rather than terror. He is losing his precious Annabel. Which is more “devastating” or “tragic” if you will. So I go with B.
Have a great day sir/m’am!
The freedom of speech in the colonies was not a thing back then during the British rule in the colonies. So, you can understand the British wanting to keep their grip on the colonies thus the British governors usually restricted what could be printed in the newspaper and thus there wasn't that much information in the newspapers themselves and the newspapers were scarce.
