Which author wrote the novel Daisy Miller?

  1. Henry David Thoreau

  2. William Faulkner

  3. Henry James

  4. J.D. Salinger

The correct answer is: Henry James

Henry James wrote the novel Daisy Miller. The other options are incorrect because A, Thoreau is known as a transcendentalist essayist and naturalist, not a novelist; B, Faulkner is known for his works set in the American South and for his modernist style, not for writing Daisy Miller; and D, Salinger is known for his works focused on the experiences of young adults, but he did not write Daisy Miller.
