The correct answer of this question is option C. Essays of John Dryden foreshadow the satire of Samuel Johnson. According to Johnson, Dryden has the ability to create a refined poetry using rough words. He included the biography of Dryden in his work which is the "Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets".
