Explanation
Demonstrate means to clearly show the existence or truth of (something) by giving proof or evidence. Show means to allow or cause (something) to be visible. Display means to put (something) in a prominent place in order that it may readily be seen. Expose means to make (something) visible by uncovering it. As all of these have quite similar meaning option A, B and D are incorrect. Conceal means to not allow to be seen; hide, so totally opposite, hence option C is correct.
