Who wrote the play "Romeo and Juliet"?

William Wordsworth.
George Bernard Shaw.
William Shakespeare.
Mark Twain.

The correct answer is: William Shakespeare.

"Romeo and Juliet" was written by William Shakespeare, making option C the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because William Wordsworth was a prominent Romantic poet, not a playwright. Similarly, George Bernard Shaw (option B) was a prolific playwright but wasn't active during Shakespeare's time. Mark Twain (option D) was an American novelist and humorist, making this option also incorrect. Overall, only William Shakespeare (option C) fits the role of a playwright during the Elizabethan era and famously wrote "Romeo and Juliet."
