Explanation:

Folktales are typically shared through oral tradition, passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth. The excerpt says “the children of the ones who could not fly told their children” and “me, I have told it to you,” showing the story is being shared orally, not via written word, letters, or secretly. So the correct option is the one about oral tradition.

Answer:

B. It is shared through oral tradition.
