Answer: C

George Gascoigne wrote Certain Notes of Instruction Concerning the Making of Verse or Rhyme in English (1575), the first English essay on prosody. It gave advice such as using the natural stress of words and avoiding too many monosyllables, and it affected the practice of Elizabethan poets. Raleigh, Thomas Churchyard and Richard Hooker are not its author, though Churchyard was a contemporary poet.
