Correct Answer: Option A — cold feet
Explanation:
"To get cold feet" is a common idiom that means to become suddenly nervous or fearful about carrying out a planned action or undertaking (such as making a speech or getting married).

Idioms are fixed expressions, so variations like "cold foot" or "cold hand" are incorrect.
