Answer: B) parody.

Explanation: From the given options, the one that represents the humorous imitation of a popular literary style, genre, or author, is the corresponding to option B: parody. A parody is an imitation that usually uses exaggeration with the purpose of having a comic effect or to mock a piece of writing, music, art, speech, etc. It is very common to see parodies in films, they can be about another film, or a specific event (political, historical, etc).
