The correct answer is A. Bleak reality
Explanation:
The Romanticism was a movement that emerged during the 18th century and affected mainly the literature, the music, and the arts. The Romanticism focused on the individual, the expression of all kind of emotions and the exaltation of nature and the past. Also, the Romanticism used elements from the Middle Ages in contrast to the elements of the 18th century. This movement took place mainly as a reaction against the reality of the 18th century as during this century the Industrial Revolution and the scientific rationalization of nature were extending as part of modernity, situation artist, musicians, and writers from the Romantic movement did not support.
Considering the Romanticism used elements from the imagination or fiction to exalt the nature and the emotions of feelings the one that is not a characteristic of Romanticism is Bleak reality, as even when romanticism included all type of emotions and feelings it mixed them with imagination or fiction; also reality was mainly idealized in a positive and not a bleak reality which means bleak reality was not something commonly found in the Romantic works.
