Correct option is D

The correct substitution for the highlighted segment in the sentence "He lost his heart because he could not cope with the difficult situation" is (d) "lost heart."

  • Explanation: The phrase "lost heart" is the correct idiomatic expression, meaning to become discouraged or to lose courage. The phrase "lost his heart" is incorrect in this context, as it implies a different meaning, such as falling in love.
  • Corrected Sentence: "He lost heart because he could not cope with the difficult situation."

This substitution corrects the idiom to properly reflect the intended meaning of losing courage in the face of a difficult situation.
