Answer c is a reference to a cilly, which was a three-character message key used in the German Enigma machine.
Taunt describes the work involved in breaking Enigma messages, cribs, cillies, the Herivel tip, help from Bombes and more.
By 1944, cillies had already become rare; hence, Bletchley Park had already found other breaks into the Enigma nets.
Cillies resulted from a combination of two different mistakes in a multi-part message by some Enigma operators.

The Trump administration is betting that its favourite tool [tariffs] can return American furniture-making to its better days. Last month, as High Point [a city in North Carolina] readied itself for its big event [a trade fair featuring domestic manufacturers of furniture], America imposed a tariff of 25% on upholstered wooden furniture, vanities and kitchen cabinets. In January the rate will rise further, to 30% for furniture and 50% for cabinets. Yet many in the industry [who might in theory benefit from protectionism] are unenthused.

The canton is clearly reduced, but not to the status of a mere private corporation. It stil is a state with standing in cort to wage some lawfare for itself and for its folk.
And we hear that the construction unions now are bitter over the environmentalists' dragging construction projects into the courts, delaying them for years. "Lawfare" the hard hats call this.
Lawfare, as defined by [George Walker] Bush Administration officials, is a terrorist tactic. Yet to anyone trained in English and American jurisprudence, not to mention the thinking that has dominated the Anglo-Saxon legal world at least since 1688, those who are accused of engaging in lawfare are simply exercising well-established legal rights and liberties. Indeed, the lawfare doctrine is the conceptual framework that best reveals the degree to which the Bush Administration has effectively declared war on the rule of law itself.
[T]he data suggest that the one area of competition where China does not enjoy an advantage is in the legal sphere. This is surprising given the Chinese emphasis on lawfare and the "Three Warfares" in its strategic literature. The Philippines has been more active in using legal tactics, and China has been in a reactive mode.
The PRC [People's Republic of China]'s version of PW [Political Warfare] is all encompassing. It is Total War that goes beyond traditional Liaison Work (building coalitions in a "United Front" to support the PRC and to "disintegrate" enemies) and the "Three Warfares" (strategic psychological warfare, overt and covert media manipulation, and the use of "Lawfare") to include use of violence and other forms of destructive attacks.
Earlier this year the [Australian] environment minister, Sussan Ley, said the "lawfare that is such a part of today's environmental landscape can be crippling to ­business as well as to environmental organisations". […] GreenLaw found […] strong evidence that public interest litigants are not abusing court processes to disrupt and delay proponents.
International scrutiny had driven Chinese authorities away from extrajudicial detention towards forms of "lawfare" and weaponising criminal prosecutions, Ms [Rayhan] Asat said.
