Answer:
c. The ground was hollowed out, as if cattle had gone over it.
Step-by-step explanation:
The scout thought the island belonged to Christians because the ground was hollowed out, as if cattle had gone over it.
The ground was hollowed out and it seemed that the Christians had previously occupied that territory.
The scouts later met he small Indian community in the little forest who further told them the establishments of the Christians and therefore cleared out all the doubts they had.
I hope the answer is helpful.
