Who wrote the novel Frankenstein?

  1. Charlotte Bronte

  2. Percy Bysshe Shelley

  3. J.R.R. Tolkien

  4. Mary Shelley

The correct answer is: Mary Shelley

Mary Shelley is the correct answer because she is the author of the novel Frankenstein, which was originally published in 1818. Option A, Charlotte Bronte, is known for her works such as Jane Eyre, which was published in 1847. Option B, Percy Bysshe Shelley, was Mary Shelley's husband and a famous poet, but did not write Frankenstein. Option C, J.R.R. Tolkien, is known for his works such as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, which were published in the mid-20th century. These authors may be talented in their own right, but they are not the author of Frankenstein.
