What is the antonym (opposite) of the word ‘Brave’?

Explanation

‘Brave’ describes having courage in the face of danger or difficulty, so its direct opposite is ‘cowardly,’ meaning lacking courage, as in ‘His cowardly retreat surprised his teammates.’ The remaining options, ‘bold,’ ‘fearless,’ and ‘daring,’ are all near-synonyms of ‘brave,’ making ‘cowardly’ the only genuine antonym among the choices.
