Answer: Choice (C) is correct.

A collusion and a conspiracy are the same thing - a secret agreement. Therefore, look for the set of terms that are synonyms. A larceny is a burglary and may be premeditated or planned, but the relationship is not the same. Meditation is a quiet introspection, and does not really relate to advisement of any sort. A liaison provides a connection, and is not disassociated from anything, so eliminate choice (D). A maelstrom is a strong whirlpool, so choice (C) is correct.
