Answer 1

I'd say the answer is D. 

The definition of the word discern is "1.Perceive or recognize something. ex; I can discern no difference between the two policies."

2. "Distinguish (someone or something) with difficulty by sight or with the other senses. ex; She could faintly discern the shape of a skull."
