C Correct answer
Explanation

The idiom 'egg on' means to urge, encourage, or prompt someone to do something, often something foolish or risky. It doesn't relate to eggs literally - it comes from 'edge on' meaning to push or spur. 'Shrewd' (clever), 'renounce' (give up), and 'trivial' (unimportant) don't capture the meaning of encouraging or instigating action.
