C.

Luck

D.

Victory

Correct option is A


Explanation of the Correct Answer: · The idiom "Milk of human kindness" means a person's natural kindness and compassion.
· This phrase was popularized by William Shakespeare in Macbeth, where Lady Macbeth fears that her husband is "too full o' the milk of human kindness" to seize power ruthlessly.
· Thus, the correct meaning is "compassion" (option a).
Why Are the Other Options Incorrect? · (b) Bravery → Incorrect; bravery relates to courage, not kindness.
· (c) Luck → Incorrect; this idiom is unrelated to fortune.
· (d) Victory → Incorrect; kindness does not equate to success in a contest.
Thus, the correct answer is (a) Compassion.
