A Correct answer
Explanation

Clandestine means secret, hidden, or kept undercover, especially because it's unauthorized or illicit. Rebel gatherings would necessarily be secret to avoid detection. Lively (B) and large (D) don't relate to secrecy, and illegal (C) is implied but not the primary meaning - clandestine emphasizes the secret nature.
