C Correct answer
Explanation

Austere means severely simple, strict, or without comfort/luxury. Monks choosing to live without worldly pleasures is the perfect example of an austere lifestyle. 'Rich' is the opposite, 'indigent' means poor (austere is a choice about simplicity, not necessarily poverty), and 'interesting' is unrelated.
