Correct Answer:
B. Tudor
Explanation:
The Tudor dynasty is celebrated in Edmund Spenser's epic poem, The Faerie Queene. Written in the late 16th century, the work serves as a grand allegory intended to honor Queen Elizabeth I, who was the final monarch of the House of Tudor. Spenser uses the character of Gloriana, the Faerie Queene, to represent Elizabeth, portraying her reign as a peak of virtue and national identity. By dedicatedly praising the Queen and her lineage, the poem functions as a literary tribute to the power and legitimacy of the Tudor line.
