Matteo Bandello
He was the original writer of Romeo and Juliet

The correct answer would be D. All of the above

"Little is known about Arthur Brooke. He was born in 1544 and is believed to have drowned in 1563, one year after the poem was published. But Brooke wasn’t the original author of the storyline either. His version is based on a French poem by Pierre Boaistuau from 1559, which is based on an Italian story by Matteo Bandello from 1554, which is based on the novel “Guilietta e Romeo” by Luigi da Porto from 1530"

so, therefore, the answer would be all of the above which can be proven by the excerpt listed above.

Hope this helps! : )
