Answer:

C. Shiftless or disreputable person

Step-by-step explanation:

On the beginning of the Elizabethan Era the reputation of the actors was not good. They were seen as rogues and vagabonds. They wandered from place to place without a home because they take their plays to different locations to spread it.

Actors were not trusted, they were considered as a threat and the regulations ordered to grant licenses to them. Licenses that the actors must present in order to be able to act.

I hope this answer helps you.
