Hint: In this example one needs to know the meaning of all the options and choose the options which provide information about the one who complies to a dictionary in any way or is author or editor to a dictionary.

Complete answer:

Let's carefully take a look at the question.

Lexicographer - The one who compiles a dictionary.

Option A) Dictographer
         This is an incorrect answer. Dictograph is a telephonic instrument to pick up sounds in one room and transmit it to another for recording them. A person who operates a Dictograph is called a Dictographer.

Option B) Vocabyuler
          This is an incorrect answer as the word is misspelt and hence fails to carry any appropriate meaning

Option C) Lexicographer
        This is the correct answer. Lexicographer is the one who compiles a dictionary. The person is mainly referred to as an author or editor of a dictionary.


Option D) Thesaurant
          This is an incorrect answer as the word is misspelt and hence fails to carry any appropriate meaning

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note: Vocabyuler, Thesaurant are incorrect options as the words are misspelt and hence fails to carry any appropriate meaning. Hence, option B and option C gets ruled out at first.
