J. D. Scott

I.A. Richards

Correct option is C

The term "The Movement" was coined by J. D. Scott, literary editor of The Spectator, in 1954. He used the term to describe a group of British poets who were writing in a style that was in reaction to the Modernist poetry of the previous generation. These poets were known for their use of traditional poetic forms and their focus on everyday life and experience.
The Movement poets included Philip Larkin, Kingsley Amis, Donald Davie, D. J. Enright, John Wain, Elizabeth Jennings, Thom Gunn, and Robert Conquest. They were all born in the 1920s and 1930s, and they came to prominence in the 1950s and 1960s. The Movement was a significant literary movement in Britain, and its poets continue to be read and studied today.
