C.

The alimony between the two has not dwindled even after a decade.

Correct option is B

‘Alimony’: A court-ordered financial support that one spouse pays to another after separation or divorce. (गुज़ारा भत्ता)
Example: She received alimony every month from her ex-husband.
Incorrect Usage in Other Options:
· (a): “War” does not collocate naturally with “alimony”.
