Unlike euripides and sophocles, ancient greece’s aristophanes focused on
a) tragic plays
b) comedic plays
c) socratic philosophy
d) aristotelian philosophy

The correct answer is B. Comedic plays

Aristophanes is considered the most brilliant author of comedies in Greek literature. From his work it is clear that he was a man of great artistic and literary culture and that he didn't tolerate ignorance and rudeness.  He was involved in the struggles and controversies of Athens in favor of the aristocratic party, using theater as a battlefield. Conservative in his tastes and in his political attitude, Aristophanes brings to the theater the social, political, artistic and religious questions of the Athens of his time, criticizing with harshness and satirical humor the novelties that he considers demagogic and inopportune.   He directed his satirical capacity against the renovators of thought, such as Socrates, and against theater innovators, such as Euripides.

He lived 60 years, around 446 BC  to 386 BC.
