    The correct answer is C. Postmodern

    Explanation:

    Postmodern literature is the best option. On the one hand, it was a period of great formal experimentation in literature, favouring split or circular narrations. On the other hand, Postmodern literature bloomed in a period of disenchantment after WWII and the process of deindustrialization that brought more insecurity to Western civilization and Modernist project.

    A particular play that reflected on these themes of hopelessness is Samuel Beckett's "Endgame". There is no clear plot development other than circular dialogue and there is no resolution of conflict, reflecting the meaninglessness of human existence.
