C Correct answer
Explanation

Broad in this context means obvious or clear. A broad hint is a hint that is easily understood, not subtle. When a politician gives a broad hint, they're making their intentions very clear. Brisk (quick), breathtaking (stunning), blunt (abrupt), and blurred (unclear) don't fit.
