how were missionaries affected by the boxer rebellion?

a. they were protected by the boxers during the rebellion.

b. they encouraged the boxer rebellion.

c. some were killed in the boxer rebellion.

d. they were not affected.

Explanation:

The Boxer Rebellion (1899 - 1901) was an uprising against foreign influence (including missionaries) in China. Boxers targeted foreigners, including missionaries, due to anti - foreign sentiment. Option A is wrong as Boxers opposed foreigners. Option B is wrong as missionaries were targets, not encouragers. Option D is wrong as they were affected. So some missionaries were killed during the rebellion, making C correct.

Answer:

C. Some were killed in the Boxer Rebellion.
