Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
Deuteronomy 18:21-22 states that a prophet whose words do not come to pass has not spoken from God. Furthermore, Deuteronomy 13:1-5 warns that even a prophet who performs signs but leads people away from God is false. True prophets consistently called Israel back to covenant faithfulness, and their predictions were fulfilled. Tribal origin was never the criterion for distinguishing true from false prophets.
