C Correct answer
Explanation

The idiom 'on the anvil' means something is being planned, discussed, or prepared - much like metal being shaped on an anvil. 'In consideration' (Option C) best captures this sense of ongoing preparation or development. Options A, B, and D are incorrect - 'on the anvil' does not mean starting up, working relations, or dying.
