C
Correct answer
Explanation
'Martial' derives from Latin 'martialis' meaning 'of Mars' (the Roman god of war), so it means warlike or relating to military matters. Option A is incorrect, and while the word does relate to Mars mythologically, option B misses the actual meaning of the word as used in English. Option D confuses it with 'marital.'
AI explanation
Martial means relating to war or the military, as in "martial arts" or "martial law," so warlike is the correct synonym. It's easy to confuse with "marital" (related to marriage) due to similar spelling, but that's a different word entirely.
