The correct answer is A. The star-crossed lovers.

Thisbe and Pyramus are termed as a pair of lovers who are ill-fated where their strong forms Ovid's metamorphose part.

The two were found in the city of babylon. Because of their parents rivalry they were forbidden not to wed.

They used to whisper their love on a cracked wall. Thisbe stabbed herself to death with a sword during the time of mourning when she found his lover Pyramus lying under mulberry tree while he is dead.
