C Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence describes the overabundance (plethora) of 24×7 news being difficult to connect to (relate). 'Plethora' means an excessive amount, and 'relate to' means to identify with or connect with. This makes sense as continuous news can be overwhelming. 'Vicarious' means experienced through someone else, 'flamboyance' means showiness, and 'nuisance' means annoyance - none fit both contexts.
