I believe the correct answer is C. inverted.

The natural order in an English sentence would require that the verb follows the subject. However, sometimes, for stylistic purposes, we have the reversed order: the verb comes before the subject, as in: All before him was blank darkness (the verb is bold). The natural order of this sentence would be: Blank darkness was all before him.
