Explanation:

Analyze the historical accuracy of option a

Vikings were highly skilled warriors known for using a variety of weapons in battle, most notably swords, axes, and spears.

Analyze the historical accuracy of option b

Taking prisoners (often for ransom or enslavement) was a common practice among many different medieval European armies and cultures, not unique to the Vikings. Therefore, they were not the "only" fighters across Europe to do so.
