Answer:

The right answer is euphemism

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a kind, good-mannered, word or phrase used instead of words referring to things that people would find hurtful, offensive or hostile to talk about. For example, when we talk about someone that died we say “passed away” to avoid died or say “people on the street” instead of homeless.
