The correct answer is D. Postmodernism

Explanation:

The Postmodernism was a movement that emerged at the end of the 20th century and that affected multiple areas or fields including the arts, the architecture, and the literature. In the case of postmodern literature, this type of literature aimed at exploring internal and external realities in a different way to the one used in previous centuries, because of this postmodern literature mixes techniques such as fragmentation in which the elements such as plot, narrator, character, and themes are fragmented; irony and black humor; pastiche in which multiple genres or techniques are mixed; historiographic metafiction in which history is mixed with reality; among others.

Considering this, the novel Saleem read probably belongs to the postmodernism literary movement as it contains some of the techniques used in this movement including fragmentation as the story and other in the novels seem to be separated and pastiche as the author mixes different types of genres and narrative techniques in the novel.
