Explanation
'Admit' here means to allow entry, so 'accept' is nearest in meaning: they will not accept (allow in) children under fourteen. 'Avow' means to declare openly, 'receive' is too general to convey granting entry, and 'concede' means to admit defeat or grant reluctantly. Hence (c) is correct.
