A. arbitration
B. asylum
C. armistice
D. apartheid
✅ The correct answer is option C.
The temporary suspension of hostilities by mutual consent in order to stout a peace negotiation is called armistice. An armistice is a formal agreement of warring parties to stop fighting. It is not necessarily the end of a war, as it may constitute only a cessation of hostilities while an attempt is made to negotiate a lasting peace. It is derived from the Latin arma, meaning “arms” and -stitium, meaning “a stopping”.
