The correct answer is C.

Carpe diem is a phrase from Latin. It means 'seize the day' although the literal translation is to 'pluck the day'.

The first reference to this phase can be found in Odes Book I written by the poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus, more widely known as Horace.

There are a number of proverbs in English that carry the same meaning. Some examples :
