The correct response is a literary work.
The allusion to "Romeo and Juliet" refers to the famous play by William Shakespeare, which is a literary work. The sentence draws a parallel between Nick and Jenna's relationship and the tragic romance of the two characters from the play, indicating that their relationship is similarly doomed due to external disapproval (in this case, from their parents).
