Final answer:

In Norse mythology, birds named Hræsvelgr came from Ymir's eyebrows. Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

In Norse mythology, it is said that Ymir, the primordial giant, was created from the icy void. When Ymir was slain by the gods, his body was used to create the world. From Ymir's eyebrows, the gods created a pair of birds named Hræsvelgr.

These birds are described as being giant in size, with wingspans so massive that they create wind when they fly, which can be interpreted as the rushing wind mentioned in one of the references. Option C
