C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'iron out' (option C). This idiom means to resolve differences, difficulties, or problems through discussion and negotiation - much like smoothing out wrinkles from cloth. 'Bash out' means to produce something quickly, 'wash out' means to fade or be removed, and 'spread out' means to extend over a wider area.
