Hudibras
Correct Answer:
D. Hudibras
Explanation:
The correct answer is Hudibras. Samuel Butler's most famous work, Hudibras, is a mock-heroic narrative poem published in the 17th century that serves as a biting satire on Puritanism and the English Civil War. While The Dunciad was written by Alexander Pope, and both Absalom and Achitophel and MacFlecknoe were authored by John Dryden, it is Hudibras that remains Butler's definitive satirical masterpiece.
