Ok, the answer is B.
An archetype is kind of like a cliche. It's an idea or character that reoccurs frequently throughout literature. Throughout literature we see repeated instances in which a wolf is a killer or a witch is evil and wicked.
These characters do not change and grow with the story--they are not dynamic.They are not multi-dimensional.
They are not the main characters or the heroes. They, therefore, are not protagonists.
Anecdotes are like a very, very short story that one uses for a purpose--like to explain an idea or to begin a speech. These characters do not fit this description.
So, again we must turn to the answer, B, archetypes.

B. archetypes is probably the answer. Although, I don't like the use of archetypes. It packages too much "truth" into a mere representation or interpretation.
A. would be the answer I would pick, they are dynamic characters that do just that, add dynamics to the story and hold the attention of an audience. There would be no story without their antagonism.

The Wicked Witch and the Big Bad Wolf would be examples of an antagonist, which is not one of the choices.

archetypes. Neither is truly differentiated from other wicked witches or big bad wolves. They are both also alliterative!

They could arguably be any. But the stock answer is B. Evil mother and Id personified in animal form.
