It allows for both general and focused research. It's not the first because it doesn't really matter if others are choosing a popular topic. Few books on the topic (#2) isn't good for a strong essay topic because only a FEW won't get you very far. Many opinions (#4) isn't what you are looking for because a strong essay topic is made up of facts only NOT opinions. The last one just doesn't make sense because a playwright is someone who writes plays and it's just off topic.
