arm指装备东西，当然只能是修饰人啦

我只觉得armed with...足以表达意思，所以"...  , and they were armed" 有些冗长而且只是补充说明，体现不了伴随状况。所以我先排除了A, B。同理排除E的arming themselves。同理排除了D的they were armed

哎呀！一不小心都排除完了，只剩下C了，读读也没错误，那就是它啦。

补充，C中的armed, 是修饰Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály，相当于people armed with guns

非常感谢！

但是选C会不会误解armed修饰Hungary呀？还是觉得不理解

小声问一下，C楼主漏了个逗号吧？
traveling the back roads of Hungary， armed only
