c. It is a series of post-biblical legends.

Explanation:

Midrashim or Midrash is a critical explanation of the biblical texts. This textual interpretation which follows the prominent method of the Talmud contains the commentaries and interpretations of the early biblical texts. In other words, it is a series of interpretative or narratives of important religious individuals. Thus, we can say that the Midrashim is a series of post-biblical legends.
