Who wrote "Tess of the d'Urbervilles"?

  1. Thomas Hardy

  2. Charlotte Bronte

  3. Emily Bronte

  4. Jane Austen

The correct answer is: Thomas Hardy

"Tess of the d'Urbervilles" was written by Thomas Hardy. Both Charlotte Bronte and Emily Bronte were influential writers of the Victorian era, but they are known for their works "Jane Eyre" and "Wuthering Heights" respectively. Jane Austen, although also a prominent Victorian-era writer, was known for her works such as "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility." Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not match the author with the correct literary work.
