    Correct Answer
    C. He’s planning on seeing the movie.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "He’s planning on seeing the movie." This answer is supported by the information given in the statement. It is mentioned that "She thought the movie wasn't scary," which implies that she has already seen the movie. It is also mentioned that "He hasn't heard anything about the movie," which indicates that he is not aware of the movie's content. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that he is planning on seeing the movie.
