Read the passage from Beowulf. The hero arose, surrounded closely
by his powerful thanes. A party remained
under orders to keep watch on the arms;
the rest proceeded, led by their prince

Explanation

Anglo-Saxon is the name by which the invading Germanic peoples from part of the British Isles (south and east between the 5th and 9th centuries) are identified. In the Anglo-Saxon language, the term "thanes" was used to denote a social position that was more important than an ordinary freeman and less important than a hereditary nobleman. These individuals generally received lands granted directly by the king or by a military nobleman. According to the above, it can be inferred that the correct answer is B. Thanes.
