The answer is C)

The people of Salem thought that the psychological disorders that a few on the town were experiencing was caused by a possession by the evil, and they tried to use trephining as a process to release evil spirits.

Trephining was mystically used in ancient times because there was the belief that for many pains or suffering the root cause was a demonic possession.
