The correct answer is C. Poetry

Explanation:

The term "literal language" refers to the type of language that follows the denotation of words or their dictionary meaning which means when you use the literal language you mean exactly what you said because you are using the meaning of words. On the opposite, in the case of "figurative language" words are used to convey a different meaning than their dictionary meaning, because of this figurative language prevails in the case of figures of speech that are widely used in poetry and similar to create complex meanings.

This implies, while literal language can be found biographies, news and articles because in this the information is completely transparent and the words are linked to their literal or dictionary meaning, in the case of poetry literal language is not commonly found but figurative language as poets use different figures of speech in which words have a different meaning to their conventional meaning.
