What option best defines the harrowing of hell

A a space between heaven and hell

B the question of what will happen to infants who die unbaptized

C the belief that christ came to Underworld to rescue non Christian souls

D the positioning of unbaptized souls on the edge of the pit that leads the Hell

The correct answer is C.

The Harrowing of Hell is a doctrine (belief) in Christian theology which states that Jesus descended into Hell (Hades, Underworld) before being resurrected. There, he brought salvation to the righteous who had died since the beginning of the world (the non-Christians).

In this way, the stigma of the Original Sin was removed from the dead, which allowed Jesus to defeat Satan and allowing the abandoned souls to ascend to Heaven.

There are no explicit New Testament references of Christ descending to the Underworld. This absence in the Scripture has given rise to controversy about the truth of this doctrine. It is unclear how it became part of the Apostels' Creed.
