The question asks for a synonym of the word SPECTATORS. A synonym is a word that has a similar meaning.
* SPECTATORS are people who watch something, usually a performance, game, or event.
Now let's look at the options:
* A: Listeners are people who hear something. While spectators might also hear things, their primary role is to *watch*. So, listeners isn't the best fit.
* B: Audience is a good option. An audience is a group of people who gather to see or hear a performance or show. But Onlookers is much more close and simple , so we will select it over audience.
* C: Onlookers are people who are watching something that is happening. This is the *closest* meaning to spectators. They are primarily focused on watching.
