Hint:Synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning and to avoid repetition synonyms are used. For example:- the synonym of beautiful is pretty and adorable.

Complete answer:
We must find the meaning of censorship and the meaning of words that are given in the options. And both the words should have the same meaning or the exact sense.
The meaning of censorship is ‘suppression of speech, public communication, or other information on the basis of the objectionable, harmful or sensitive things.’ And we must find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is the same as censorship.
Option A) Definite - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of definite is ‘having fixed limits, certain or sure or bounded’ and this is not the synonym of censorship because of their different meanings. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Organization - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of organization is ‘where a group of people work together, an organization can be school, office, neighborhood association’ and this is not the synonym of censorship because of their different meanings. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Disapproval - is the correct answer because the meaning of disapproval is ‘dislike or dissatisfaction or displeasure or disagreement’ and this is the synonym of the word censorship and they can be used in place of each other because they have similar meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option D) Approval - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of approval is ‘giving permission for something or agreement or acceptance or consent or compliance’ and this is not the synonym of censorship because of their different meanings. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

The correct answer is Option C.

Note:Synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning that is synonym of censorship is disapproval. So, the most appropriate answer is Option C and antonym are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of censorship or disapproval is approval (already given in the option D). Thus, Option C is the correct answer and other options are wrong.
