Which of the following is a type of text?

  1. Stories

The correct answer is: Stories

Stories are a type of text because they are narratives that tell a sequence of events, usually involving characters, a setting, and a plot. Stories can be fictional or non-fictional and can come in various forms such as short stories, novels, myths, fairy tales, and fables. Stories are a fundamental part of literature and oral tradition, serving as a way to entertain, educate, and communicate experiences and ideas. While emails, diaries, and letters are also types of text, stories encompass a broader range of genres and formats that make them a more inclusive category of text.
