Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In this sentence, the conjunction "yet" is used to express a contrast or contradiction between the decision-making process and the outcome. "Seldom" implies that the decision rarely ends in a fiasco. Together, they fit the context of the sentence, implying that although it is a tough decision, it seldom results in failure. 
Thus, the correct pair of words is (c) yet, seldom.
