Step-by-step solution
'Unless’ is a conjunction of condition while ‘till’ refers to ‘time’ meaning ‘as far as the time when or before the time when’.
In the given sentence, ‘his task may be to keep the coalition going till the time when he can think of ways or finds ways to counter Mr. Singh’s mission’ (means the subject seeks time to think ways to counter Singh’s mission. It is referring to time, not condition.)
Option C hence is the correct answer.
