Correct option is C
Option (c) is
not a meaning of
register.
·
(a) “to show/express on the face” is valid: e.g., His shock
registered on his face.
·
(b) “to enroll/sign up” is valid: e.g., She
registered for the seminar.
·
(d) “a machine used to record sales” is valid:
cash register.
·
(c) is incorrect because in music,
register refers to the range of pitches of a voice or instrument—not to a medieval instrument itself (often confused with “regal,” a small medieval keyboard instrument).
·
Information booster: As a homonym,
register works as both
verb (to record; to show; to enroll) and
noun (official list; tonal range in music; device like a register for ventilation or a cash register).
