Answer:

C. Prominent Jews responsible for governance of the ghetto and implementation of Nazi orders.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Judenräte were councils of Jewish people established in German-occupied Poland and Eastern Europe by orders of the Nazi authorities. Their purpose was to apply German policy lines and preserve order in the ghettos where Jews had been confined. They were created by Reinhard Heydrich, the chief of the Gestapo (secret service) with a decree issued on September 21, 1939, just three weeks after the invasion of Poland.
