C.)They have been killed.

Explanation:

Levi uses it to show that, in the camp, everyone was meant to to be killed irrespective of gender. This could be seen when he asked the guard "why he did this", to which the guard tells him, “There is no why here.”

This made Levi to realizes that this is the meaning of an extermination camp, to rid one of themselves.

explanation:

the silver bells of the sleds are merry and keep time in the winter nights while the sky twinkles happily. the golden bells of weddings are delightful in their peaceful happiness, foretelling a rapturous future. meanwhile, the brazen alarm bells scream frightfully in the night, with a discordant and desperate sound. in their clamor, these bells convey terror, horror, and anger. finally, the iron bells are solemn and melancholy, while those in the church steeple are like ghouls who feel happiness. the king of the ghouls, who rings the bells, cheerfully keeps time with the moaning and groaning bells.
