Why does this seeder fail?

public function run() {
    User::create(['name' => 'John']);
}

Assuming User model uses guarded property.

ABecause the create method does not exist on User model

BBecause the run method must use DB facade instead

CBecause the guarded property blocks mass assignment without fillable set

DBecause 'name' is not a valid column in users table

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand Mass Assignment Protection
If User model has guarded property set, mass assignment via create() is blocked unless fillable is defined.
Step 2: Confirm Cause of Failure
Without fillable or unguarded, create() throws a mass assignment exception causing seeder failure.
Final Answer:
Because the guarded property blocks mass assignment without fillable set -> Option C
Quick Check:
Guarded blocks create() without fillable [OK]

Quick Trick: Set fillable or unguarded for create() [OK]
