    The correct answer is D. To refer to a story that audiences are familiar with.

    Explanation:

    Most of us are familiar with a lot of Greek myths, like the one with Persephone and Hades, or Theseus and the Minotaur, or Perseus and Medusa, etc. The reason why an author might mention a Greek myth is because it is universally known and the majority of us have either read or seen something related to it.

    No author will do this only to show off how intelligent he or she is. The setting will not be changed in the story, unless it's a supernatural one. Mentioning a myth does not change the language, unless the author copied the entire text in his or her own.

    Therefore, the correct answer is D.
