I don't like the way this is worded. An allegory is a short type of poem. Not a genre. But the answer is D. If you look at general poetry structure, it tells a vivid story in a confined manner.

The answer is D: To use symbols and storytelling to make the message more vivid.

Allegory is a figure of speech ,which objective is  to teach a moral lesson, by using events, characters and figures to describe abstract ideas and principles. It suggests a hidden meaning with the use of metaphors, creating a story within a story that teaches about complex topics that are difficult to understand directly.
