The correct answer is C because Ronaldo scored a total of 8 goals during the 2002 FIFA World Cup held in South Korea and Japan. His performance earned him the Golden Shoe award as the tournament's top scorer. Notably, he scored both goals in the final match against Germany, leading Brazil to their fifth world title. This achievement was significant as it broke a long standing trend where top scorers usually finished with only 6 goals in previous tournaments.
