Answer: (B)

Poor Richard's Almanack is a famous early American publication known for its practical advice and witty maxims.

The almanac appeared annually from 1732 to 1758 and helped popularize many everyday proverbs still familiar today. The author here is Franklin; the other names are known for different works—Fred Gipson wrote Old Yeller, Homer was the ancient Greek poet of the Iliad and Odyssey, and Victor Hugo authored French novels like Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame—so Franklin is the correct choice.
