The reference to "prophecy" and "Melanesian Islanders" suggests the belief in a cargo cult, which is a religious movement that emerged among Melanesian Islanders in the 19th and 20th centuries based on the expectation of material goods ("cargo") being delivered by supernatural means. The prophecy of a cargo cult refers to the belief that Western goods and wealth would be delivered by ancestral spirits or other supernatural means. Therefore, the correct answer is C) cargo cult. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence.
