B. During Beethoven's fourth period, he wrote atonal music that was often dissonant and unpleasing to the ear

C. Beethoven's second period was known as his heroic period

The correct answer is:

B. During Beethoven's fourth period, he wrote atonal music that was often dissonant and unpleasing to the ear

Ludwig van BeethovenĀ“s composing career has been divided into three: early, middle, and late period. The early period is considered to have last until 1802. The middle period lasted from 1802 to 1812, and the late period, the third, from 1812 to BeethovenĀ“s death in 1827. There is no fourth period.
