OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I kinda thought it was either C or D...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is D, but on the same hand.. The word berserk is actually from the name of a Viking soldier who had spread Christianity throughout Europe.

From http://www.wikipedia.org/ Vikings (from Old Norse víkingr) were Germanic Norse seafarers, speaking the Old Norse language, who raided and traded from their Scandinavian homelands across wide areas of northern and central Europe, as well as European Russia, during the late 8th to late 11th centuries.
