Answer 1

The Correct Option is A, B, D

Masques were a prominent theatrical form during the Stuart era, exclusively staged in private royal halls. Inigo Jones created intricate masques, distinguished by their grand stage settings and elaborate costumes. It is inaccurate to claim masques lacked elaborate stage designs, as they were, in fact, celebrated for them.
