Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
A synonym is a word that has a similar meaning to another word. This makes it a good choice to use in place of the original word in certain contexts, such as when you want to avoid repeating the same word too many times. A thesaurus is a tool that can help you find synonyms for a particular word, but it is not a synonym itself. Replacer and duplicate are not commonly used terms for words with similar meanings.
