The correct answer is A. To take lead in danger.
The phrase “to bell the cat” means to take on a difficult or dangerous task. In the original fable, a group of mice are afraid of a cat. They decide that the only way to be safe is to tie a bell around the cat’s neck so that they can hear it coming. However, no one is willing to take on the dangerous task of doing this.
The phrase is often used to describe someone who is willing to take on a difficult or dangerous task, even if it is unpopular or risky. It can also be used to describe someone who is willing to take on a leadership role.
Option B is incorrect because it does not describe a difficult or dangerous task. Option C is incorrect because it does not describe a task that requires leadership. Option D is incorrect because it does not describe a task that is difficult or dangerous.
