Answer:

The answer is indeed letter c) a work intended to imitate characteristics or style for comic effect

Explanation:

A parody is an artistic work which intends to cause laughter by imitating another work. It can be be done in whichever genre or form: a movie, a video, a song, a speech, etc. Parodies overemphasize certain traits and characteristics of the original work for a comic effect. A well-known example of parody is "Scary Movie", a film that exaggerates elements of horror movies for a comic effect. It focuses specially on the characters' inability to make proper decisions, always being easily fooled by the villain, as well as constantly failing to ask for help.
