a. vampires and werewolves team up to fight invaders.

b. on halloween, teenagers create a scary haunted house.

Explanation:

Gothic literature often features themes of the supernatural, mystery, and moral ambiguity, with characters interacting with evil or mysterious forces. Option A has supernatural beings but focuses on teamwork against invaders (not typical Gothic). Option B is a modern, light - hearted Halloween activity. Option D is about freedom and prison, not Gothic themes. Option C, a scholar dealing with evil, mysterious beings, aligns with Gothic's focus on the supernatural and moral/metaphysical conflict.

Answer:

C. A scholar makes a deal with evil, mysterious beings.
