How does the Apostle Paul's appeal to Caesar in Acts 25:11 reflect both his understanding of Roman law and his strategic approach to spreading the Gospel?

A It was solely a legal maneuver to escape persecution in Jerusalem. B It was a demonstration of Paul's loyalty to the Roman Empire above all else. C It allowed Paul to fulfill his mission to preach the Gospel in Rome, using his rights as a Roman citizen to gain access to the heart of the empire. D It was a sign of Paul's lack of faith in God's protection.
