Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct option is B, D and E only.

Let us analyze each statement step-by-step to understand why this option is correct:

Statement [A]: Harold Pinter was born in the year 1925. (Incorrect)
Harold Pinter, the influential British playwright and Nobel laureate, was born on October 10, 1930, in London, not in 1925. Thus, statement [A] is false.

Statement [B]: He was influenced by Samuel Beckett and the theatre of the absurd. (Correct)
Pinter was heavily influenced by Samuel Beckett, a pioneer of modern drama. Pinter's plays are key examples of the "Theatre of the Absurd," characterized by sparse dialogue, heavy silences, and themes of existential anxiety. Thus, statement [B] is true.

Statement [C]: The caretaker and the alchemist are his famous plays. (Incorrect)
While The Caretaker (1960) is one of Harold Pinter's most famous and breakthrough plays, The Alchemist is a classic Jacobean comedy written by Ben Jonson in the 17th century (1610). Therefore, statement [C] is false.

Statement [D]: Stanley is a character in the birthday party. (Correct)
Stanley Webber is the protagonist of Pinter's famous 1957 play, The Birthday Party. He is a retired pianist living in a seaside boarding house whose life is disrupted by the arrival of two mysterious strangers. Thus, statement [D] is true.

Statement [E]: Betrayal is a story of a married couple. (Correct)
Pinter's 1978 play Betrayal revolves around Emma and Robert, a married couple, and details the complexities of Emma's seven-year extramarital affair with Robert's close friend, Jerry. Thus, statement [E] is true.

Conclusion: Since statements [B], [D], and [E] are the only true statements, the correct option is B, D and E only.
