Explanation:

First Question (Who is a notable author associated with Victorian Realism?):

Mary Shelley is known for Gothic fiction (e.g., "Frankenstein"), William Wordsworth and Lord Byron are Romantic poets. Charles Dickens is a key Victorian Realist author, using realist techniques to depict Victorian society.

Victorian Realism focuses on societal issues. Environmental issues were not a main critique then, technological advancements were more of a subject in other genres, political ideologies are broader. Realist works like Dickens' critiqued societal norms (class, poverty, injustice).

Realist literature emphasizes real - life, mundane settings. Alien planets and imaginary worlds are for science - fiction/fantasy, utopian societies are for utopian literature. Real - life environments (cities, villages, workplaces) are typical in realism.

Answer:

d. Charles Dickens
