Solution

During the Restoration period in England, the theater underwent significant changes. After being closed for 18 years due to Puritan rule, theaters were reopened in 1660 when Charles II came to power. The content of the plays also changed dramatically. They began to contain more offensive content, often featuring sexual innuendo and social satire. This was a stark contrast to the religious and moral themes that were common during the Puritan era. Therefore, the answer is A. Plays contained more offensive content.
