D Correct answer
Explanation

Angel is a messenger of God. The word does not fit in the context. Here, we need the mathematical expression 'angle'. Bale is a bundle and bail is the bond/money deposited in court to get temporary release.  Cord is a thick string or wire and chord is a musical tone. So, the correct option is cord, i.e. a wire on which clothes can be hung. Fare is the passage charge or ticket. Fair means a carnival. This fits in with the festivals mentioned in the sentence.
