C Correct answer
Explanation

Semordnilap (palindromes spelled backward) refers to a word that forms a different valid word when read backwards. For example, 'stressed' becomes 'desserts'. Homophones are words that sound the same, kangaroo words contain a smaller word within them, and apocope is the removal of the last letter of a word.
