The correct answer is option D. "Burning Prospero’s books". In "The Tempest" by William Shakespeare Caliban proposes to kill Prospero in order to become king of the Island. He discusses with Stephano and Trinculo that they must steal Prospero's books and burn them while he sleeps. By doing so, Prospero would lose all his powers and he would be vulnerable.
