Which traditional Malay narrative poem, written in four-line stanzas with an AAAA rhyme scheme, recounts historical events, romances, and moral tales and was the dominant literary form of the classical Malay courts?

• A Pantun
• B Gurindam
• C Syair ✓
• D Seloka

Syair is a long narrative poetic form composed entirely of quatrains with a monorhyme scheme, famously exemplified by 'Syair Ken Tambuhan' and 'Syair Abdul Muluk'; unlike pantun, every line is semantically linked and carries the story forward.
