d. Both Betsie and their father did not survive World War II

Answer 1

Betsie ten Boom survived World War II, but their father did not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Betsie ten Boom, sister of Corrie ten Boom, survived World War II. However, their father did not survive. The ten Boom family, who were Dutch Christians, had been hiding Jews in their home during the war. In 1944, they were discovered and arrested by the Germans. Corrie and Betsie were both sent to concentration camps, but only Betsie survived. Their father, Casper ten Boom, died less than a week after his arrest at the age of 84.
