The answer would be C. writing the epic poem the faerie queene about knights and virtue 

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Edmund Spenser was known for writing the epic poem The Faerie Queene about knights and virtue.

Explanation:

Edmund Spenser was an English poet. He was a prominent figure in Renaissance lyrics and sonnet poetry.  

Spenser studied at Merchant Taylors' School in London and Pembroke College in Cambridge. From 1854 he lived in Ireland as a civil servant and estate owner. Spenser's main work is The Faerie Queene, an allegorical epic that can be read in part as a tribute to Queen Elisabeth I. It consists of six books. The first part was published in 1590, the second part in 1596. The work is written in a verse that was invented by Spenser himself, and is called Spenserian stanza.
