Answer 1

Hint: Synonym is a word that means the same as the given word. One must look for words in the given options that mean the same as the given word.

Complete answer:
The given word unlawful means illegal or something that does not align with the law. A synonym is a word that has the same meaning as the given word, or two words having the same meanings are called synonyms of each other.
Option a, “elicit” means to extract or to retrieve. It is irrelevant to the given word, hence it is an incorrect option.
Option b, “draw” means to sweep or raffle, for the same reason as above, lack of relevance, option b is incorrect as well.
Option c, “illegitimate” means against the law or illegal, which is the same in meaning as the given word. Hence, option c is the correct choice.
Option d, means unlawful or illegal, which is the same in meaning as the given word, hence it is a correct option as well.
As it is clearly mentioned, that there can be multiple correct answers, option c, and option d are the two correct choices.

Note:
Here, one must know the meanings of the word synonym as well as all the words given in the options as well as the question.
