Which of the following is a classic novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne?

Moby-Dick
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
The Scarlet Letter
The Catcher in the Rye

The correct answer is: The Scarlet Letter

The Scarlet Letter is a classic novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain, and The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger are all iconic works of literature, but they were not written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. While these novels may be considered classic literature, only The Scarlet Letter is written by the author mentioned in the question.
