Answer 1

A) they never became part of Christian Europe

Answer 2

The correct answer is option C) "they were a roving group who raided towns to supplement their economy". Vikings were groups of Scandinavian seafaring pirates and traders who lived across the northwestern Europe between the 8th to 11th centuries. The best statement that fits the description of vikings is that they raided towns to supplement their economy, because as pirates, stealing from towns was one common practice of vikings.
