What type of literature often uses allegory to illustrate a moral or religious lesson?

Nonfiction
Poetry
Drama
Metaphorical literature

The correct answer is: Poetry

Poetry often uses allegory to illustrate a moral or religious lesson due to the lyrical and figurative nature of the genre. Nonfiction typically does not utilize allegory in the same way as it is more focused on factual information. While drama may incorporate allegory, it is not as common as it is in poetry. Metaphorical literature refers to the use of metaphors in any genre, but it is not specifically related to allegory. Therefore, B is the most accurate option for this question.
