Solution
The true statement is D. Symbols can be personal as well as universal.
Explanation: Symbols in literature are not a recent innovation, they have been used since ancient times. They can appear in any genre of literature including both fiction and poetry, and there's no rule that they appear more in one than the other. Symbols can certainly be used in both epic and lyric poetry. Lastly, symbols can indeed be both personal (having a unique or specific meaning to an individual or character) and universal (having a common or widely understood meaning).
