Correct Answer:

F Scott Fitzgerald

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - F Scott Fitzgerald

The novel 'The Great Gatsby' was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. The novel was inspired by a youthful romance Fitzgerald had with socialite Ginevra King, and the riotous parties he attended on Long Island's North Shore in 1922. During World War II, the novel experienced an abrupt surge in popularity when the Council on Books in Wartime distributed free copies to American soldiers serving overseas. The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary masterwork and a contender for the title of the Great American Novel.
