What type of literature is Beowulf?

Epic
Romance
Tragedy
Comedy

The correct answer is: Epic

Beowulf is considered an epic poem. It is a long narrative poem that tells the story of a hero's journey and includes themes of courage, honor, and fate. While romance may be present in parts of the story, it is not the main genre. Tragedy and comedy also do not accurately describe the overall tone and structure of Beowulf.
