C Correct answer
Explanation

'Illicit' specifically means forbidden by law, rules, or custom, making it perfect for unauthorized romantic relationships. 'Illegal' refers to criminal acts, 'unlawful' is broader, and 'illegitimate' refers to unauthorized births or invalid legal status. 'Illicit' precisely captures the context of forbidden affairs.
