The correct option is D Beowulf
Tales of valour, courage, economic, cultural, and political changes have been narrated all through history. They were talked about and even sung in the form of songs, ballads, and chants. All these songs and ballads are oral sources of history. The Mahabharata is an example of an epic, while the Iliad and Beowulf are examples of ballads.
