In what century was Geoffrey Chaucer born?

  1. 15th

  2. 16th

  3. 13th

  4. 17th

The correct answer is: 13th

Geoffrey Chaucer was born in the 14th century, making option C the most accurate answer. Option A and B are incorrect because they are later centuries than the one in which Chaucer was actually born. Option D is incorrect because it is a century later than the correct answer. Therefore, option C is the best answer given Chaucer's historical context.
