Judges 11:30-40 ERV
Jephthah made a promise to the LORD. He said, “If you will let me defeat the Ammonites, I will give you the first thing that comes out of my house when I come back from the victory. I will give it to the LORD as a burnt offering.” Then Jephthah went to the land of the Ammonites. He fought the Ammonites, and the LORD helped him defeat them. He defeated them from the city of Aroer to the city of Minnith. Jephthah captured 20 cities. Then he fought the Ammonites to the city of Abel Keramim. The Israelites defeated them. It was a very great defeat for the Ammonites. Jephthah went back to Mizpah. He went to his house, and his daughter came out to meet him. She was playing a tambourine and dancing. She was his only daughter, and Jephthah loved her very much. He did not have any other sons or daughters. When Jephthah saw that his daughter was the first thing to come out of his house, he tore his clothes to show his sadness. Then he said, “Oh, my daughter! You have ruined me! You have made me very sad! I made a promise to the LORD, and I cannot change it!” Then his daughter said to Jephthah, “Father, you have made a promise to the LORD, so keep your promise. Do what you said you would do. After all, the , so keep your promise. Do what you said you would do. After all, the LORD did help you defeat your enemies, the Ammonites.” Then Jephthah’s daughter said to her father, “But do this one thing for me first. Let me be alone for two months. Let me go to the mountains. I will not marry and have children, so let me and my friends go and cry together.” Jephthah said, “Go.” He sent her away for two months. Jephthah’s daughter and her friends stayed in the mountains. They cried for her because she would not marry and have children. At the end of two months, Jephthah’s daughter returned to her father, and Jephthah did what he had promised. His daughter never had s*xual relations with anyone. So this became a custom in Israel. Every year the young women of Israel would go out for four days to remember the daughter of Jephthah from Gilead and to cry for her.

C is correct, Jepthahs daughter was first to welcome him, nd she willingly helped her father fulfill his vow to JEHOVAH.... It's a very touching account, I admire the cooperative nd willing attitude of Jepthahs daughter.
even wen he ask her father to allow to go up to the hill and play fr some times wit her friends
