C Correct answer
Explanation

Schwarzschild black holes are the simplest type, characterized only by mass with no electric charge or angular momentum (rotation). They are described by the Schwarzschild metric solution to Einstein's field equations. Kerr black holes have angular momentum (rotation), while charged black holes have electric charge - both add complexity to the solution.
