What did he build?
A
The English Theater
B
The Theatre Globe
C
The London Theatre
D
The Globe Theatre
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The first opened in 1599 and was built by the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, the company that William Shakespeare wrote for and part-owned. We think that the first play Shakespeare wrote for the original Globe was Julius Caesar in spring 1599.

Detailed explanation-2: -Streete and his workmen built a brick base for the theatre. The walls were made from big timber frames, filled with smaller slats of wood covered with plaster that had cow hair in it. Because the owners were struggling for money, they used the cheapest options in the building process.

Detailed explanation-3: -The second best playhouse Shakespeare’s company built the Globe only because it could not use the special roofed facility, Blackfriars Theatre, that James Burbage (the father of their leading actor, Richard Burbage) had built in 1596 for it inside the city.
