Answer 2

Hey Jonncommen, here is another good link:

Perhaps it would help you to read about Aristotle under the section, "Moral Criticism and Dramatic Construction (~360 BC-present)"

It's unfortunate that your instructor wants to limit your understanding of Aristotle's work to one of these four categories. B, C, and D are not exclusive.
