BConfuse

CPerceive

DFabricate

Answer:

C. Perceive

Read Explanation:

• 1. Meaning of the Word: To discern means to recognize, identify, or distinguish something that is not clearly visible or obvious. It involves using your senses or your mind to understand a hidden truth. 2. Why 'Perceive' is the synonym: Connection: To "perceive" means to become aware of something or to realize/interpret something through the senses. In the context of a detective, "discerning the truth" and "perceiving the truth" both mean successfully identifying what is real amidst a distraction (the "web of lies").
