Final answer:

Beroul wrote a version of Tristran and Isolt during the last half of the 12th century, a time characterized by the development of the romance genre and the emergence of Gothic style.

Step-by-step explanation:

The era of the 12th century was significant for the development of the romance genre in literature, with figures such as Thomas of England, Marie de France, and Chretien de Troyes being at the forefront of its innovation. These authors, along with Beroul, were inspired by Breton storytellers and their narratives are key to understanding the literary traditions of the time. This period also saw the strengthening of the French monarchy, the resurgence of cities, and the blossoming of courtly culture, as well as the emergence of the Gothic style, which began in the mid-12th century around Paris.

The correct answer to the student's question regarding the time frame when Beroul wrote a version of Tristran and Isolt is the last half of the twelfth century, option (a).
