The correct answer is B, as Ivan IV, also known as Ivan the Terrible, did kill hundreds of boyars during his reign. While he is not known as "Ivan the Lovable" and did not establish the first independent Russian kingdom, he significantly expanded the territory of Russia and centralized power. His reign was marked by violence and repression, especially towards the nobility.
