The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Aristotle's Poetics defines poetry as imitation. So statement A is correct. The Greek word for imitation is: \[ \text{mimesis}. \] So statement C is correct. Imitation or mimesis is used in literary theory to explain the nature of literature and other arts. So statement E is also correct. Statement B is incorrect because imitation is not coined from the word ‘imagism'. Statement D is also incorrect because it does not define imitation in Aristotle's theory. Therefore, the correct statements are: \[ A,\ C,\ E. \] Hence, the correct answer is option (B).
