I've heard people speak a word -- many words actually -- but have no idea what it means!!

I think C is correct.

Humans' largest vocabularies include those words they hear (aural vocabulary) and eventually those they read. The next largest vocabulary is usually the speaking (verbal/oral) vocabulary. Most humans' smallest vocabulary is their writing vocabulary.
