The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Three of the given options — “Exact estimate”, “Only choice”, and “Open secret” — are examples of oxymorons.
An oxymoron is a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear together (e.g., “deafening silence”).
- “Exact estimate” is contradictory because an estimate is approximate, while exactness implies precision.
- “Only choice” is contradictory because “choice” implies more than one option, but “only” restricts to one.
- “Open secret” is contradictory because something “open” is public, whereas a “secret” is meant to be hidden.
In contrast, “Clearly visible” is not contradictory — it is a straightforward phrase that reinforces its own meaning, not an oxymoron.
Hence, “Clearly visible” is the odd one out.
