Detailed Solution

‘Impute’ is the correct answer.
A synonym is a word or phrase that means the same thing as another word, morpheme, or phrase in the same language.
Impute - 'Attribute' means to 'consider something as the result of a specific thing.' 'Impute' means 'to claim that something or someone is to blame for/is the cause of something that has occurred.' This word has the same meaning as the bold word. As a result, option C is correct.
'Courageous' means 'not deterred by danger or pain, brave'.
'Illegal' means 'forbidden by law'.
'Furtive' means 'behaving secretly and (often) dishonestly'.
