The correct answer is 1977 because Image, Music, Text is a collection of essays by Roland Barthes that was published in English in 1977. This book, translated by Stephen Heath, brings together some of Barthes’ most influential writings on semiotics, structuralism, and textual analysis.
However, some of the essays included in the book were originally written and published earlier, which might cause confusion regarding the publication date. But since the question asks for the publication of Image, Music, Text as a whole, the correct answer is indeed option 2: 1977.
