B Correct answer
Explanation

Walter Scott (1771-1832) is correctly identified as a writer of historical romances. He pioneered the historical novel genre with works like 'Ivanhoe,' 'Waverley,' 'Rob Roy,' and 'The Heart of Midlothian,' which combined romantic adventure with carefully researched historical settings. Option A 'Walter Savage' is incomplete (likely meant Walter Savage Landore, who was a poet not historical romance writer), Jane Austen wrote social realism novels like 'Pride and Prejudice,' and Emily Brontë wrote 'Wuthering Heights,' which combines Gothic romance with social realism but isn't primarily historical romance in Scott's sense.
