Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation:

Canons means a general law, rule, principle, or criterion by which something is judged.

Therefore, "Principle" is the closest synonym.

  • Principle — matches the meaning of canons: a fundamental truth, law, or standard.

  • Conducive — means tending to bring about a result; not a rule or standard.

  • Ruckus — means a noisy disturbance or commotion; unrelated to rules or principles.

  • Acceptance — means consenting to or receiving something; not a rule or criterion for judgment.
