Answer:

B

Explanation:

The word conspire means to lay plans secretly or to plot the execution of secretive plans. In this sense, talking furtively about something in a basement would be most similar to a conspiracy. Conversing and investigating are much  more casual sounding terms that do not necessarily imply secrecy, and shouting is the opposite of being furtive as it is loud and disruptive.
