Correct answer: B. Ivan Krasko (pseudonym of Ján Botto)
- Step 1: Ivan Krasko (civil name Ján Botto, 1876–1958) revolutionized Slovak poetry with Nox et solitudo (1909) and Verše (1912), expressing melancholia, isolation, and national anxiety. Answer: Ivan Krasko (pseudonym of Ján Botto). Why not the others: Hviezdoslav was a realistic-parnassian monumentalist, and Kostra wrote intimate reflective post-war poetry.
