Correct Answer: To do a dangerous task


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

The expression bell the cat originates from a fable where mice discuss placing a bell on a cat to be aware of its movement, which involves facing significant risk.

When someone is said to bell the cat, it means they are taking on a risky or challenging responsibility, especially one that involves confronting a formidable opponent or facing a dangerous situation, which is similar to the meaning given in the first option.
