Novels
Short Stories
Poetry
Screenplays

The correct answer is: Novels

Herman Melville was a famous American author known for writing novels. While he did write some short stories and poetry, he is most famous for his novels such as Moby-Dick and Billy Budd. Melville did not write any screenplays, making option D incorrect. Options B and C are partially correct, but they do not encompass all of Melville's work. Therefore, A is the best answer as it accurately describes Melville's prominent writing style.
