A and C

Solution :

The correct answer is A and C.

John of Trevisa (A) was a 14th-century writer and translator renowned for translating major secular history and scientific encyclopedias, such as Higden's Polychronicon and Bartholomeus Anglicus's De Proprietatibus Rerum, into Middle English prose.

John Mandeville (C) is the author attributed to The Travels of Sir John Mandeville, a highly popular 14th-century travel memoir and geographical compilation, which stands as a landmark of secular prose in the medieval period.

The other figures listed—Julian of Norwich (B), Bernard of Clairvaux (D, who lived in the 12th century), and Walter Hilton (E)—are primarily associated with religious, theological, or mystical writings rather than secular prose.
