c. Grendel continues killing each night keeping them out of their hall.

Explanation:

This is the reason why the Danes are tortured every day for 12 years. The Danes cannot gather at their hall because this is where the monster Grendel comes to kill Danes every night. This is the main reason why the Danes ask for Beowulf's help. They know that he is a hero and a brave man who is very skilled at battle, and they are hoping Beowulf can liberate them from the creature.
