C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct military strategy is to use the desert terrain to your advantage by drawing the heavily armoured knights away from their castle and employing skirmish tactics. Heavy armour becomes a liability in desert conditions due to heat and fatigue, while desert warfare favors mobile, guerrilla-style tactics over direct confrontation. Option E (running away) is not a viable strategy for defending your people.
