Explanation:

In "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", Ichabod Crane is interested in Katrina Van Tassel because her father is wealthy. Crane is a character who is somewhat materialistic and sees marrying into a wealthy family as a way to improve his own situation. There is no indication in the story that he is interested in her for academic - related reasons (option A), her adventurous spirit (option B, as there is no such parallel to Madam Knight in the story regarding Katrina's interest in long - journeying alone), or political connections (option D).

Answer:

C. her father is wealthy and Ichabod wants to marry into the family
