Hm. Cack - cackle?

B?

Or am I trying to apply logic to something not logical?

[hinterland]

b is right, but cack doesn't come from cackle..

[nentikobe]

Is it C?

cack

I suppose the original meaning could be a consequence of eating too much, but the common Strine meaning in this day and age is simply to laugh very hard.
