Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The concept of the objective correlative is introduced by T.S. Eliot in his essay Hamlet and His Problems. In this essay, Eliot explains that the emotions of a character should not be directly expressed but should be represented through a set of objects, events, or situations that can evoke those emotions in the audience. The term "objective correlative" refers to this idea.
