C Correct answer
Explanation

Harry's wand and Voldemort's wand shared twin phoenix feather cores from Fawkes, Dumbledore's phoenix. This created a rare connection called Priori Incantatem. When Voldemort tried to attack Harry with Harry's own wand, the wand recognized Harry as its true master and refused to harm him, instead acting on its own to protect its owner. The other options are incorrect - Dumbledore didn't specifically bewitch it for this purpose, Snape wouldn't help defend against Voldemort, and Mad-eye Moody had no connection to this event.
