Explanation:

To determine the synonym of "anticipation", we analyze each option:

• Option A: "disappointment" means a feeling of dissatisfaction, opposite to anticipation (which is looking forward to something), so not a synonym.
• Option B: "relief" is a feeling of comfort after a stress, not related to anticipation.
• Option C: "excitement" can be associated with looking forward to something (anticipation often brings excitement), so it is the closest synonym among the options.
• Option D: "envy" is a feeling of jealousy, not related to anticipation.

C. excitement
