• D. No change

Answer 1

The correct option is C W.B.Yeats, a great poet, was loved and respected by all.

To use noun phrase in apposition, two noun phrases are placed next to each other in a clause and refer to same thing, here “W.B.Yeats”, hence Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to the goal, hence incorrect.
