Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
Makruh refers to acts that are disapproved or discouraged in Islam; a Muslim who performs a Makruh act does not incur a sin but is considered to have acted against preferred conduct. It is distinct from Haram (forbidden), Wajib (obligatory), and Mustahabb (recommended). Avoiding Makruh acts is praiseworthy.
