Using words and ideas around the unknown word to figure out the meaning and pronunciation of the unknown word is called c. context.

Explanation: When reading a text which includes a word whose meaning is unknown, a person tends to look at the words, phrases and ideas which surround that word in order to figure out its meaning as well as its pronounciation. The words and ideas that help define another word are considered 'context clues' since they conform what comes before or after the unknown word, that is to say they are part of the same 'situation' or text.
