What is the epic of gilgamesh
(a) an early example of oral history

(b) the first major epic pome

(c) an important sumerian play

(d) the history of the god of the sun

B

Explanation:

The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of, if not the earliest, surviving epic poems. It dates from c1800BC and tells the story of Gilgamesh, a King in the third dynasty of Ur from Ancient Mesopotamia. He ruled C2100BC. USing this information we can rule out some of the other Answers. It isn't Answer A, as we know that it is written down ad thus cannot be an example of Oral history (Although I am sure it was probably told orally at the time as well). We can rule out Answer C as although it is written by Sumerian poets, it is a poem and not a play. Answer D can be ruled out as Gilgamesh isn't the god of the sun but is a mortal King (Albeit a very strong and legendary one!).  That only. leaves Answer B which fits perfectly! The story itself follows the adventures of the King as he overcomes many challenges of a beastly and mystical nature!
