Solution

The correct option is C Serbian Monk
Rasputin was born in a peasant family in Serbia who later took pilgrimage to a monastery and became a monk. He created social influence in Petersburg and befriended Russian rulers the Tsars. He became a healer and mentor for Tsar's son and his wife. When during First World War Nicholas II (Tsar Ruler) went to oversee Russian armies, he became very powerful in government matters. This created jealousy and enmity for him and he was finally assassinated by some noblemen in 1916 AD.
