D Correct answer
Explanation

Shakespeare's four great tragedies are Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth. Twelfth Night is a comedy, not a tragedy - it's a romantic comedy with mistaken identities, shipwrecks, and a happy resolution, unlike the tragic endings and serious themes of the four major tragedies. Therefore, Twelfth Night does not belong to this group.
