Who wrote the short story "The Monkey's Paw"?

Samuel Beckett
Charlotte Bronte
W.W. Jacobs
Thomas Hardy

The correct answer is: W.W. Jacobs

"Explanation W.W. Jacobs wrote "The Monkey's Paw", a short story about a magical monkey's paw that grants three wishes to its owner, but with unexpected and tragic consequences. It is often studied in schools and considered a classic of horror and mystery genres. Samuel Beckett, Charlotte Bronte, and Thomas Hardy are all notable authors, but they did not write "The Monkey's Paw". Therefore, they are incorrect choices for this question."
