    A person who compiles a dictionary

    A.

    Plagiarist

    B.

    Iconoclast

    C.

    Bibliophile

    D.

    Lexicographer

    Correct option is D

    The correct one-word substitute for "a person who compiles a dictionary" is "Lexicographer."

     "Iconoclast" is someone who attacks or criticizes cherished beliefs or institutions.
