Answer:

C. There was a mutiny on board the ship and Gulliver was set ashore there.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels," tells the story of the many adventures of Lemuel Gulliver to the lands of Lilliput, Brobdingnag, and numerous other islands. This novel is a fictional tale that Swift uses to satirize English society.

Part IV of the story tells the story of Lemuel Gulliver's trip to the land of the Houyhnhnms. After his numerous trips, he had stayed at home for about five months but then yearned the life of sea travel. So, accepting an offer to captain a ship called "Adventurer", he set sail out to sea. But on the way, a mutiny broke out on board, and he was set ashore on an unknown island. This was the land of the Houyhnhnms.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
