Explanation:

The question asks which statement is supported by paragraph 4. Paragraph 4 explains that viewers watch tragedies even knowing bad outcomes, feeling tension while hoping characters avoid harm, then experience relief (catharsis) after. This shows viewers identify with the characters' struggles. Option A is incorrect as the text does not mention viewers feeling superior. Option B is incorrect because the relief (not sadness) is the key post-viewing emotion. Option D is incorrect because the text says characters make "stupid mistakes" but does not claim most are stupid.

Answer:

C. Viewers often identify with tragic characters.
