The correct answer is:

nonfiction

Explanation:

Both of these texts are theoretical essays on writing and what constitutes a good, scholarly text. Essays fall into the section of nonfiction, which is why fiction is the incorrect answer here. Both of these are texts, essays, and not poetry or plays, which is why those answers are also incorrect. The texts give with what the writers can do to make their writing better. Non-fiction or nonfiction is content whose creator, in good faith, thinks responsibility for the truth or correctness of the events, people, or knowledge performed.
