C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'for' because 'compensation for' is the correct preposition when money is paid to make up for loss, damage, or injury. The government is paying 'for' (to make up for) the damaged crops, land, and cattle. 'To' would indicate the recipient, not the reason. 'Through' and 'of' don't fit the context of paying for damages.
