Answer:

That which most closely matches the literary style and time period common to both excerpts is Realism. Realism writers had an interest in understanding society and individual emotions, actions, and motivations. So, here the right answer would be Option C.

Explanation:

The literary realism movement kicked off in the middle of the nineteenth century and went on till the beginning of the next century. Its major catch is that it rejected imaginative idealisation and focused on resembling definite and detailed pictures of the reality be it nature or life.
