Correct: C. where often invisible hazards exist.
AIM 3-4-3 describes restricted areas as airspace that denotes the existence of unusual, often invisible, hazards to aircraft, such as artillery firing, aerial gunnery or guided missiles. Flight into R-2531 is not forbidden at all times (it may be entered when not active or with permission of the controlling agency), and restricted areas are not reserved for IFR aircraft.
