Explanation
This question is asking about how those who were bitten by the fiery serpent were treated. The options for treatment are Drinking from the Red Sea, Fasting for seven days, Looking at the bronze serpent, Calling upon the Lord, and Repenting.
The correct option is C which is Looking at the bronze serpent. This story is from the Old Testament in the book of Numbers chapter 21. The Israelites were complaining against God and Moses, and so God sent fiery serpents among them, and many were bitten and died. When the people repented and asked Moses to intercede for them, God instructed him to make a bronze serpent and put it on a pole. Whoever looked at the bronze serpent when they were bitten would live.
This story is significant because it is a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ being lifted up on the cross to save us from sin and death. Just as the Israelites were saved by looking at the bronze serpent, we are saved by looking to Jesus in faith.
