C - He lets Rainsford go to prolong the hunt.

Zaroff's defeat is caused by his own arrogance because he becomes so confident in his hunting abilities that he underestimates Rainsford and lets him go, thinking he will be an easy target to hunt down again. However, Rainsford uses this opportunity to turn the tables on Zaroff and become the hunter himself, ultimately leading to Zaroff's defeat.
