Explanation:

The word "unutterable" is formed from the prefix "un - " (meaning not) and the root "utter" (which can mean to speak). So "unutterable" means not able to be spoken. Option A (stand) would relate to "unbearable", Option B (move) is unrelated, Option D (cry) doesn't fit the meaning of "utter". So the correct option is C as it matches the meaning of "unutterable" (not able to speak).

Answer:

C. speak.
