CORRECT!

3). MOAs are established to

a). separate certain military activities from IFR traffic.
b). restrict civil aircraft during periods of high density training activities.
c). prohibit all civil aircraft because of hazardous or secret activities.
The answer is:
a). separate certain military activities from IFR traffic.

The FAA's Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) defines MOAs as airspace established for the purpose separating certain military training activities from IFR traffic. If traffic separation can be provided by ATC, nonparticipating IFR traffic may be cleared through a 'hot' MOA.

Examples of activities conducted in MOAs include, but are not limited to: air combat tactics, air intercepts, aerobatics, formation training, and low-altitude tactics.
