Contact most closely means:

• A. To touch something physically
• B. To ignore someone
• C. To communicate with someone over the phone or by writing a letter, e-mail or text message
• D. To reach someone

Answer: (C)

The meaning tested is establishing communication or getting in touch with someone. When you contact someone, you’re initiating a connection to exchange information, typically through a channel like a phone call, letter, email, or text. That makes the option describing communicating with someone by phone or writing the message the best fit. For example, “I’ll contact you tomorrow” means you’ll reach out to communicate with them, not merely touch them physically. The other senses aren’t as fitting here: touching is a physical sense, ignoring is the opposite of making contact, and reaching someone could refer to getting to them in a literal sense rather than starting a conversation.
