The correct option is:

C. Vikings made raids that were usually hit and run, and they targeted monasteries or churches that had valuable gold and silver objects.

The Vikings were pagans, contrary to most people living in Britain at the time. Christian churches and monasteries in Britain were easy targets for the Vikings since the monks had no armaments and the churches were packed with worthy treasures, like gold, silver, and jewels, as well as books, food, drink, cattle, clothes, and tools.
