William Shakespeare wrote the play "Romeo and Juliet."

The reason the other options are incorrect is because they were not the authors of this play. Christopher Marlowe was a contemporary playwright, but he did not write "Romeo and Juliet." Similarly, John Donne and Edmund Spenser were poets, not playwrights, and their works do not include "Romeo and Juliet." Therefore, the only correct option is A, William Shakespeare.
