Euripides is the playwright described in the statement: "

His plays about the Athenians' treatment of women include Medea, Electra, and The Trojan Women. " Option C is correct.

Euripides was a tragedian of classical Athens who along with Aeschylus and Sophocles, is one of the three ancient Greek tragedians for whom a great number of plays have survived. Euripides is identified with theatrical innovations that have deeply influenced drama down to modern times.
