Solution

The correct option is C Romeo and Juliet
Shakespeare’s ability to speak to the audience through laughter, stories about love, life, and death attracted people from all classes. He was able to capture a wide range of emotions in his plays. ‘Merchant of Venice’, ‘As You Like It’, ‘The Comedy of Errors’ were some of his significant plays. They are considered ‘comedies’ as they had a humorous tone. ‘Romeo and Juliet’, ‘Hamlet’, ‘Othello’, ‘Macbeth’ and ‘King Lear’ are considered tragedies.
