    • 16th and early 17th centuries

    • 17th and early 18th centuries

    • 18th and early 19th

    Correct Answer
    A. 18th and early 19th
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 18th and early 19th centuries. This is because Blackadder the Third is set during the late 18th century, specifically during the Regency era in England. The show follows the misadventures of Edmund Blackadder, who serves as butler to the dim-witted Prince George. The Regency era lasted from 1811 to 1820, which falls within the early 19th century. Therefore, the setting of Blackadder the Third spans both the 18th and early 19th centuries.
