Explanation:

In George Orwell's "1984", Newspeak terms are defined as follows: Doublethink is holding two contradictory beliefs; Facecrime is a facial expression indicating thoughtcrime; Thoughtcrime (or crimethink) is the essential crime as it involves holding unorthodox thoughts, and all other crimes stem from it; Crimestop is stopping oneself from thinking such thoughts. So the term for the essential crime containing all others is Thoughtcrime.

C. Thoughtcrime
