a. the act of hiding from danger.
b. a large explosion, like from a bomb.

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "annihilation", we analyze each option:

• Option a: Hiding from danger is "concealment" or "evasion", not annihilation. Eliminate a.
• Option b: An explosion is a destructive event, but annihilation refers to complete destruction (not just the explosion itself). Eliminate b.
• Option c: "Annihilation" means total destruction, so this matches the definition.
• Option d: A German soldier type is irrelevant to the meaning of annihilation. Eliminate d.

Answer:

c. The act of destroying completely.
