Dear Student,

Dictum means a statement that expresses a general truth or principle.
A euphemism is a clever, delicate phrase that expresses what you mean without actually saying it,
suitable word is option no. (C) An aphorism is a joke whittled down until only the punch line is left.

Keep learning with us,
