The correct answer is C. To call them back to the gospel they have suddenly deserted.
Paul wrote the letter to the Galatians primarily to address concerns about their turning away from the true gospel he had preached to them. He was alarmed by reports that they were influenced by other teachings that distorted the message of salvation through faith in Christ alone. By writing Galatians, Paul wanted to reaffirm the foundational truths of the gospel and encourage the Galatians to return to their original faith.
