Poetry is considered which type of art?

Literary art

Poetry is a form of literary art because it uses language as its main means of expression. A poem may present thoughts, feelings, imagination, experiences, rhythm, and carefully chosen words. Its artistic effect is created through written or spoken language, not through paint, stone, or physical movement. Therefore, poetry belongs to literature and can be studied along with other literary forms such as stories, novels, and drama.

Option C is correct because “literary art” directly refers to art created through words and language. Painting uses colour and visual form, while sculpture uses solid materials to create a three-dimensional object. Folk art describes art connected with the traditions of a community and is not the specific category asked here. The supplied answer matches the standard classification, so the decision is pass.
