The correct answer is C) The University Wits


The University Wits was a group of English dramatists who wrote plays of quality and diversity in the 16th century. They include Christopher Marlowe, Robert Greene, and Thomas Nashe. They were educated at universities of Oxford or Cambridge. There were some apparent attacks on Shakespeare in the pamphlet “Greene’s Groats-Worth of Wit”, it was because Shakespeare did not have an elite education the Wits did.
