Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
In 1 Samuel 8:11-17, Samuel's warnings included conscripting sons for military service, taking daughters as servants, seizing fields and vineyards, and taking a tenth of produce and flocks. There is no mention of taxes on trade and commerce in Samuel's speech. The other three options are directly stated in the passage.
