Explanation:

Reflexive documentaries aim to make viewers question the authenticity and construction of the documentary itself, as seen in "This Is Spinal Tap" which plays with the idea of a fake documentary (mockumentary, a form related to reflexive style). Poetic focuses on aesthetics and emotion, expository is for informing/persuading with a clear voiceover, and performative emphasizes the filmmaker's personal experience. So the correct option is reflexive.

Answer:

A. reflexive
