playwright wrote Macbeth?

William Shakespeare
John Milton
Geoffrey Chaucer
Oscar Wilde

The correct answer is: William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare is the correct answer because he is the only one out of the options who is widely known for writing plays, including the famous tragedy Macbeth. John Milton is primarily known for his epic poem Paradise Lost, Geoffrey Chaucer for The Canterbury Tales, and Oscar Wilde for his works of fiction and poetry. Therefore, they are not known for writing plays, let alone Macbeth.
