Answer:

In the sentence - For nearly two years after that, though, the Danes did not attack Alfred's native Wessex. At the end of 870 this changed, and this period as "Alfred's year of battles" from the excerpt taken from Alfred the Great - Part A by Lance Carson, “became known” should be used to fill up the blank. So, the right option is A.

Explanation:

The sentence from Alfred the Great is in past tense. The presence of “did not” in the  beginning of the sentence shows that it is in past tense. So, “became known” fits better with  this sentence and in completing the meaning of it. Also, this phrasal verb stands for getting  around or emerging which means something or some news getting spread across or  becoming aware among people. So, the use of “became known” completes the above sentence.  

6  then the  lord  said to cain, “why are you angry?   why is your face downcast?   7  if you do what is right, will you not be accepted? but if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door;   it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”

8  now cain said to his brother abel, “let’s go out to the field.”  while they were in the field, cain attacked his brother abel and killed him.
