The correct answer is C. Peasants resisted collectivization because they wanted to keep control of their land and did not want to work for the government in collective farms. The idea of having their land taken away and being forced to work collectively went against their traditional beliefs of individual ownership and autonomy. Additionally, collectivization often led to harsh working conditions, lower wages, and lack of control over their own production, which further fueled their resistance.
