Answer: None of the above.

Explanation:

Geoffrey Chaucer is one of the most renowned poet and author of all time, he is also referred as the 'Father of English Literature.' Chaucer is mostly known for his very well known 'Canterbury Tales.'

The writing style of Chaucer was different from the rest. He is familiar for his 'metrical innovation' and his use of 'decasyllabic pentameter.' He was the first and the one to use the decasyllabic meter which is the use of five stress line in poem.

The options mentioned in the question aren't really his innovations.
