C. They were opposed or murdered.
During the reign of Ivan the Terrible (Ivan IV) as the Tsar of Russia in the 16th century, many nobles (boyars) were subjected to brutal treatment. Ivan the Terrible's rule was marked by a series of purges and repressions against the nobility. He viewed the boyars as a threat to his power and initiated the oprichnina, a campaign of political repression and terror. Many nobles were opposed, marginalized, murdered, or forced to flee.
So, the correct answer is that under Ivan the Terrible, many nobles were opposed or murdered.
