• A. Charles Lutwidge

• D. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson

Answer: (B)

The name behind the pen name Lewis Carroll is Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. He wrote Jabberwocky and included it in Through the Looking-Glass, and the version of his name most fully recognized as his real one includes both given names, his middle name Lutwidge, and his surname: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. The name Lewis Carroll was the pseudonym he used for his published writings. So, while a shortened form like Charles Dodgson drops the middle name Lutwidge, and Lewis Carroll is the pen name, the complete real name is Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.
