The correct answer is c. palatalization.Palatalization is a phonological process where a consonant becomes a palatal consonant, typically involving the raising or fronting of the tongue towards the hard palate. In the given sentence, the word "Palatics" likely represents "politics," and the process of palatalization is at work, transforming the initial consonant "p" into a "p" sound that is produced with the tongue closer to the hard palate.
