The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the same word is used in multiple locations or a word is used that was not quite appropriate, a thesaurus can be used to look up a (n) ___synonym_________ or a word similar in meaning.

Why other options are not correct?

Homonym is words that have the same spelling and usually sound alike, but have different meanings (E.g.- I left my phone on the left side of the room.)

Antonym is the opposite of word (e.g up->down)

Metronym: A matronymic is a personal name based on the given name of one's mother, grandmother, or any female ancestor.
