Solution

The correct option is B Autobiography
The correct answer is Option B.
In the given question we are to select a word that means 'life history of a man written by himself.
Option A - BIOGRAPHY means 'history of a man written by someone else'.
Option C - NOVEL is a fictional prose narrative of book length which contains characters and action.
Option D- DRAMA means a play- it is a narrative divided into scenes and like novel it also contains action and characters.
Hence the above 3 options are not desirable options.
A work of prose describing the life history of a person when written by himself is known as AUTOBIOGRAPHY. Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
