Answer:

Option c.Three may keep a secret if two of them are dead.

Step-by-step explanation:

An aphorism is an observation that contains a general truth. For example, the aphorism for silence and non-disclosure will be like this:

  • Let sleeping dogs lie.

In other words, the example above shows the need of not bringing up issues again.

Thus, from the observation of the responses, option c works the best.
