C Correct answer
Explanation

Robin Lane Fox is a noted historian and author who wrote 'Alexander the Great: A Biography' (1973), which is a well-regarded scholarly work on Alexander. Colin Farrell and Val Kilmer are actors who portrayed figures in the 2004 film 'Alexander,' but they are not authors. Macedon is the kingdom/region, not an author. Fox's biography is the authoritative work referenced here.

AI explanation

Robin Lane Fox, a classical historian at Oxford, wrote the acclaimed 1973 biography "Alexander the Great," long regarded as one of the definitive modern accounts of the Macedonian conqueror's life. Colin Farrell and Val Kilmer are actors who portrayed Alexander on screen, not authors, and 'Macedon' is simply the ancient kingdom Alexander ruled, not a person.
