Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Household Words, The Friend, The Guardian and The Indicator were periodical publications associated with Dickens, Coleridge, Steele and Hunt respectively. Kafka’s The Metamorphosis is a prose fiction work, even though literary works can first appear in periodicals. Publication in a journal would not make the work’s own title a periodical title.
