The novel "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens is an example of what literary genre?

Epic
Drama
Satire
Romance

The correct answer is: Romance

"Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens is classified as a romance novel because it focuses on the relationship between the main character, Pip, and his love interest, Estella. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and personal growth through Pip's interactions with Estella and other characters. While the novel may contain elements of other genres such as drama and satire, these are not the main focus of the story. Furthermore, "Great Expectations" does not meet the criteria of an epic, which typically features a hero's journey and grand scale events. Thus, D is the best option among the provided choices.
