Bach did not replace the minuet with the trio and scherzo; rather, he incorporated the minuet and trio form in his compositions, particularly in his orchestral suites and keyboard works. The scherzo, which emerged later, became a popular alternative to the minuet in the Classical and Romantic periods, notably used by composers like Beethoven. While Bach's works laid the groundwork for future musical forms, the transition from minuet to scherzo occurred after his time.
Beethoven replaced the minuet and trio with a scherzo in the third movement of his symphonies, which was a departure from the traditional forms used by earlier composers. While Mozart and Haydn primarily used the minuet and trio, Beethoven's innovation in the scherzo provided a faster, more dynamic alternative. Thus, the correct answer is C: earlier classical composers, including Mozart and Haydn, typically employed the minuet and trio.
If the composer has not indicated a specific tempo, the trio would generally be played at a similar tempo to the minuet.
Early classical symphonies included a minuet and trio movement, which is by definition dance-based. Later symphonies (from Beethoven onwards) tended to replace the minuet by a scherzo (meaning 'joke'), which is usually strongly rhythmical and may be dancelike.
Usually it was a minuet (from French "menuet"; in Italian "minuetto"), but sometimes other, normally a dance or a short sequence of dances, before the fourth (finale), that was commonly an allegro, as the first was as well.

It is typically four movements. The first is fast and in sonata form The second is slow The third is a scherzo or minuet in trio form The fourth is fast and in sonata or rondo form
minuet proper
Trio is a passage in the middle of a minuet, frequently in a different key.
Minuet and trio form is a musical structure commonly used in the third movement of classical symphonies, string quartets, and other compositions. It consists of a minuet section (A) followed by a contrasting trio section (B), and then the minuet is repeated (A). The minuet is typically in a moderate triple meter, while the trio often features a lighter texture and different key. This form highlights the contrast between the two sections while maintaining a cohesive overall structure.
The term 'scherzo' in music is a noun.It's Italian, literally meaning 'joke', and describes a passage of movement played in a lively, bright, quick manner:'Many symphonies feature a scherzo movement.'; 'The scherzo form replaced the traditional nineteenth-century minuet and trio.'The term 'scherzando', literally, 'joking', means to play, or played, in a lighthearted, playful manner, can be used as either an adjective or an adverb:'The next movement will be played scherzando - that is, lightly.'; 'How did the recording bring out the scherzando string section?'
Usually: 1) Allegro 2) Slow (Andante, Adagio, Largo...) 3) Scherzo or Trio or Minuet 4) Fast (Allegro, Presto, Vivace...) 5) Is optional, and the tempo is chosen by the composer
The form is known as minuet and trio. Originally the a-section minuet was repeated, followed by the b-section which was a trio for three instruments, played and repeated, followed by a return of the a-section minuet. Over a relatively short time, the intervening trio was augmented and became simply a contrasting section to the minuet.
