Answer: C. Scops, Mead Halls

Step-by-step explanation:

Much like the Norse people had Skalds, the English of old had Scops. These poets would recite oral English poems for the pleasure of the public but were usually under local government employ.

Scope recited their poems in Mead Halls which were large halls that were used for social activities like merriment and celebrations. They were also sometimes used to plan war.
