A Correct answer
Explanation

Toll can mean ‘ring out’ and that makes it synonymous with the words bell, sound, call, etc. Remember the phrase ‘for whom the bell tolls?’ Death toll means the number of people who died in an accident or something. Since the word casualties also means more or less the same, toll can be considered synonymous with casualties. Toll is the fee you pay for using a service. All of these words belong to the headword toll.
