First use of Blank verse in English. Henry Howard.
option B is correct
Blank verse is unrhymed poetry written in iambic pentameter, commonly used in English literature.
Blank verse first appeared in sixteenth-century Italy during the Renaissance, an adaptation of unrhymed poetry from ancient Greece and Rome. It was later introduced to England in the 1550s by Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey with his translation of Virgil’s The Aeneid.
