C Correct answer
Explanation

Speculative means based on conjecture, theory, or guesswork rather than fact or certainty. This is the precise one-word replacement for 'based on guesswork'. Other options like clear (certain), confidential (private), shrewd (astute), or irrelevant (unrelated) do not convey the meaning of being based on guesses or theories.
