Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
Muslims are obligated to perform five daily prayers: Fajr (dawn), Zuhr (midday), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (sunset), and Isha (night). These five prayers were made obligatory during the Night Journey (Isra wal Mi'raj). They were originally fifty but were reduced to five through the intercession of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
