C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is C. 'Abeyance' means a state of temporary disuse or suspension - an action or process that is currently not active but may resume later. Option A describes 'parchment', B describes 'summation', and D means 'noticeable' - none of which match the meaning of abeyance.

AI explanation

Correct answer: suspended action. 'Abeyance' means a state of temporary suspension or inactivity, as in 'the plan was held in abeyance' — i.e., paused, pending future action. It has no connection to parchment/vellum (writing material from animal skin), to arithmetic totaling, or to being prominent/conspicuous — those are simply distractor definitions for other unrelated vocabulary words.
