Your answer should be B.) implicit ^-^
The correct answer is B.
When a piece of information (for example, an idea) is implicit it means it has been suggested but not directly expressed in words. The audience has been able to discover the real hidden intention or meaning through the context (timing, surrounding circumstances) or from other pieces of information included in the discourse. Therefore, implicit is the opposite of explicit.
