The correct answer is A, C and D.

To identify the plays written by the Romantic poet Lord Byron, we can examine the authorship and details of each work listed:

A) Sardanapalus: This is a historical tragedy in blank verse written by Lord Byron in 1821. It is based on the legendary account of the fall of the last king of Assyria.
B) Hellas: This is a lyric drama/verse play written by Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1821 and published in 1822. It was inspired by the Greek War of Independence and is not by Lord Byron.
C) Cain: Published in 1821, Cain: A Mystery is a dramatic work written by Lord Byron that retells the biblical story of Cain and Abel from a skeptical and rebellious perspective.
D) The Two Foscari: An Historical Tragedy: This is a play written by Lord Byron in 1821. It is a verse drama set in 15th-century Venice detailing the tragic fate of the Doge Francesco Foscari and his son Jacopo.
E) The Cenci: This is a tragedy in five acts written by Percy Bysshe Shelley in Rome in 1819, based on the historical execution of Beatrice Cenci for parricide.

Thus, the plays written by Lord Byron are Sardanapalus (A), Cain (C), and The Two Foscari (D). The plays listed in B and E were written by Percy Bysshe Shelley.
