Correct Answer:
C. Pride and Prejudice'
Explanation:
The correct answer is Pride and Prejudice. George Wickham is a central antagonist in Jane Austen's 1813 novel, Pride and Prejudice. He is introduced as a charming militia officer who initially wins the sympathy of Elizabeth Bennet by deceitfully portraying Mr. Darcy as the villain. His true character is later revealed when he elopes with Lydia Bennet, a scandal that threatens the reputation of the entire Bennet family until Darcy intervenes. While Austen's other novels like Emma, Persuasion, and Mansfield Park feature various complex characters, none of them include Wickham.
