What is the title of Chaucer's most famous tale?

  1. The Book of the Duchess

  2. The Parliament of Fowls

  3. The Canterbury Tales

  4. The Romance of the Rose

The correct answer is: The Canterbury Tales

Chaucer's most famous tale is "The Canterbury Tales." "The Book of the Duchess" and "The Parliament of Fowls" are both well-known works by Chaucer, but they are not as widely recognized as "The Canterbury Tales." "The Romance of the Rose" is a popular medieval literature, but it was written by Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meun, not Chaucer. Therefore, the title of Chaucer's most famous tale is "The Canterbury Tales."
