D
Dylan has also written poetry and traditional prose
Explanation
The original clause, “I consider his lyrics to be just as good as any poetry,” is a personal opinion and makes a broad comparison. Saying that Dylan’s lyrics use poetic devices such as allusion and metaphor gives a specific, objective reason they can be considered literary. The other choices rely on what people think or claim facts that do not directly support the point.
