Answer: C) (c) Under the radar
The correct answer is Option 3: Under the radar.
'Under the radar' means to avoid detection or notice, often deliberately, so that no one — including authorities — is aware of your actions. Example: 'He kept his business activities under the radar.'
Why the other options are wrong:
- On the radar: means being noticed or watched — the opposite of the given meaning.

- Fall off the radar: similar to 'drop off' — implies an accidental or unexplained disappearance, not intentional concealment.
