Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The correct answer is Sullivan's Travels, as it follows a filmmaker who pretends to be a homeless man to understand the plight of the less fortunate, in order to create a socially conscious film. The other options, The Odyssey, The Awful Truth, and The Lady Eve, are all classic comedies from different eras, but they do not contain the storyline of a filmmaker pretending to be a hobo to research a serious film.
