C Correct answer
Explanation

To exert means to apply force, influence, or effort. 'Strain' can mean to exert force or to make great physical or mental effort - when you strain, you are exerting yourself intensely. This makes 'Strain' a valid synonym. 'Stray' means to wander, 'Elegance' means grace, and 'Dejection' means sadness - none relate to exertion.
