Answer: (A)

Identifying which work was written by John Bunyan. The Pilgrim's Progress is a 1678 allegorical tale that follows a Christian as he makes a spiritual journey from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, using the voyage as a symbol for faith, perseverance, and salvation. Bunyan, a 17th‑century English Puritan preacher, wrote it while imprisoned for his religious beliefs, and his vivid journey-plot and religious themes helped it become a landmark in English literature and Christian writing.
