Answer:
The correct response is Option A: Society was undergoing rapid change in a period of violence and war.
Explanation:
Modern drama tended to focus on ordinary people dealing with everyday struggles instead of elite stories that were concerned with kings and uncommon heroes. Rapid social change was a sign of the times with industrialization and mechanization and the rise of consumer culture. The literature of this period reflected the reactions and feelings of unease with these changes, including the like violence of World War I. There was a sense of alienation and disconnectedness among large sections of the population during the era of the modern drama. The theater had to compete with the increasing popularity of movies and radio.
