The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The phrasal verb 'give in' means to surrender or yield, which is exactly what a coward would do. The sentence is correct as it stands.

  • No change is correct because 'give in' (to surrender) fits the meaning that only a coward would yield.
  • give out is wrong because it means to distribute or to become exhausted, not to surrender.
  • give for is wrong because it is not a standard phrasal verb here.
  • give away is wrong because it means to give something free or to reveal a secret, not to yield.

Since 'give in' is the right phrasal verb, the answer is 'No change'.
