The Surprise Symphony was composed by Haydin, second option.

Who wrote the famous piece, "surprise symphony"?

The Surprise Symphony (Symphony No. 94 in G major, Hob. I:94) was written by the Austrian composer Franz Joseph Haydn. Haydn composed this symphony in 1791 or 1792 during his second visit to London.

The "surprise" element comes from a sudden loud chord in the second movement, intended to wake up anyone in the audience who might have dozed off.

So the correct option is the second one.
