Answer: A
The key gives it takes a lot more time and energy to build a stone castle.
The passage says only that the first castles were made of earth and timber and were later replaced by stone, which strengthened them. It gives no reason for the first choice of material, so the question has to be answered by inference. Of the four options, only A is a plausible practical reason that the passage does not contradict: a Norman army securing newly taken land needs quick fortifications, and wood and earth take less time and labour than stone.
Option B and C describe what people did or did not realise, which the passage does not say, and D is about looks, which is not mentioned. The passage does say wooden castles were highly susceptible to fire, but that is given as their weakness, not as a thing people failed to see.
