Explanation:

In "Pyramus and Thisbe" and "Romeo and Juliet", the time - periods depicted are ones where men carried weapons. In "Pyramus and Thisbe", Thisbe recognizes Pyramus' dagger, and in "Romeo and Juliet", characters like Romeo, Tybalt etc. carry swords. The settings are not servants' quarters, nor are they in castles ruled by unjust leaders in a way that is a key similarity, and violence is not discouraged in either story.

Answer:

D. Both take place in time periods in which men carry weapons.
