Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is C. Frighten.

Frighten means to make someone feel afraid. It is the closest
synonym to intimidate, which means to make someone feel nervous or afraid by threatening them or making them feel like they are in danger.Here are some examples of how the word “intimidate” can be used in a sentence:
- The bully intimidated the smaller children by making threats and picking on them.
