Answer : C
Doubt : Shouldn't we use 'releated with' instead of 'related to'. Please elaborate on idiom related.

there's nothing to elaborate. don't ever use "related with". with idioms you just have to learn which is the correct form (and preferably also some of the more common incorrect uses) and use that knowledge to make your decisions..
