Answer: The source that John Bunyan used for his writing style in "The Pilgrim's Progress" is:

a. The English bible.

Step-by-step explanation:

John Bunyan was an English predicator who obviously was directed by the bible, proof of this is in the Gospel of St. John chapter 6, verse 37 where says: "Everything that the Father gives me will come to me; and whoever comes to me, I don't miss out", also, you can eliminate options like Martin Luther King's thesis (because he lived more than 200 years after John Bunyan) and the English dictionary was published in 1861 when Bunyan lived in the 17th century.
