Correct Answer:
D. Defense of Catholicism
Explanation:
Dryden’s The Hind and the Panther (1687) serves as a justification for his conversion to Catholicism following the coronation of King James II. Written as an allegory using heroic couplets, the poem portrays the Catholic Church as a pure hind and the Anglican Church as a panther, illustrating the author's theological shift and his defense of the Roman Catholic faith.
