Answer:

B. Ride naked through the town

Explanation:

In the story "The Tale of Lady Godiva", Leofric, the lord of Coventry, asked his wife to ride naked through the town if she wanted him to abolish taxation from the people of Coventry.

Lady Godiva who could not bear to see the people suffer from the heavy taxation accepted this task willingly because she wanted her husband, Leofric, to abolish taxation in Coventry.

So the correct option is B. Lady Godiva was asked to ride naked through the town in exchange for the abolishment of Heregeld Tax.
