Answer: The right answer is the A) Restoration.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit on the answer, it can be added that the name of this literary era refers to the period in English history when the monarchy was restored (for the previous eleven years England had not had a king) and a new socio-political order was established. It began in 1660, and it led to significant political, social, and religious changes. The theatres reopened—they had been closed during the previous Puritan government—and new plays and works were created. Restoration literature is very diverse, and it does include lavish, witty and lighthearted comedies that were performed for courtiers and members of the upper class in stunning playhouses. Social criticism, seduction, and infidelity were recurring themes in these plays, and, as a result of that, as well as of the presence of female actresses on stage, references to sexuality were very common. John Dryden (1631–1700) was one of the greatest playwrights of the era.
