"They had rambled round by a road which led to the well-known ruins of the Cistercian abbey behind the mill, the latter having in centuries
past, been attached to the monastic establishment. The mill still worked on food being a perennial necessity; the abbey had perished, creeds
being transient."

Explanation:

Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented is a novel by written by Thomas Hardy, published in 1891. The story is set at the end of the 19th century, in a region southwest of London. More precisely, the novel takes place in Wessex, an area that includes the county of Dorset and the surrounding counties. The novel itself illustrates the country life during the late Victorian period. The story does not take place in America, so the option A is incorrect. It also certainly does not take place among the Mayan ruins, or London. The story is set in rural England - the correct answer is C. the English countryside.
