What are the main characters in “The Canterbury Tales”?

Knights
Pilgrims
Princes
Sailors

The correct answer is: Pilgrims

The main characters in "The Canterbury Tales" are pilgrims, as they are the individuals who are undertaking the journey to Canterbury to pay homage to Saint Thomas Becket. While knights and princes may be included as characters within the tales, they are not the main characters driving the narrative. Sailors are also not relevant to the story, as the tale takes place on land during a pilgrimage. Therefore, B is the most fitting and accurate answer choice.
