Solution
The correct option is B Appear
'Occur' means to exist or be found to be present in a place or under a particular set of conditions.
"radon occurs naturally in rocks such as granite"
In this context, "The word, Christmas, which is derived from the Old English for Christ's Mass is believed to occur for the first time in the eleventh century", 'occur' means to appear. Hence, option C is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
