The correct answer is C) The teacher wants to soften the harsh reality of the class’s failure.

The choice that is a possible explanation for the teacher’s use of a euphemism in the above situation is "The teacher wants to soften the harsh reality of the class’s failure."

The school teacher was surprised by the marks of the students. It had to find the right words that fit the moment. Ninety percent of the class failed. This was an awkward situation and the teacher tried to communicate it not in a harsh way but in a polite way.

A euphemism is an indirect word that can be used to soften the harsh meaning of another word in order to be more polite when addressing the news or communicating with other people.
