Correct Answer: Gallantry

Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Valiance refers to courage or bravery, especially in the face of danger or difficulty. It signifies acts of bravery or courageous behaviour. Gallantry refers to courageous and noble behaviour, particularly in challenging situations. Both words describe acts of bravery, courage, or valour in challenging circumstances.

The meanings of the other words are as follows:

• Cravenness: This refers to cowardice or a lack of bravery. It describes the quality of being fearful, timid, or showing cowardly behaviour.
• Dastardliness: This term refers to behaviour that is despicable, cowardly, or characterised by underhanded or mean-spirited actions.
• Patience: This word means the ability to endure waiting, delay, or difficulties calmly without getting frustrated or upset.

Therefore, the right answer is gallantry.
