Correct Answer: cool as a cucumber


Solution : The right choice is the second option .

The phrase cool as ice is an idiomatic expression used to describe someone who remains calm, composed, and unaffected by pressure or a stressful situation. The phrase calm as a cucumber serves a similar purpose in conveying a sense of maintaining composure and serenity.
