Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sergeant-at-law is presented as a medieval lawyer in "The Canterbury Tales" by Geoffrey Chaucer, while the wife of Bath is presented as a marriage authority. The occupations of both characters require them to establish themselves as important people, and both are concerned with their appearances.
