He chickened out when he confronted his manager .

Withdrawing

The answer is **(☀) Withdrawing.

The idiom "chickened out" means to withdraw from something because you are afraid. In this case, the man is afraid to confront his manager, so he withdraws from the situation. He does not argue with his manager, he does not lie to his manager, and he does not lay eggs.

The other options are incorrect. (2) Lying is not the meaning of the idiom, as the man is not lying to his manager. (3) Arguing is not the meaning of the idiom, as the man is not arguing with his manager. (4) Laying eggs is not the meaning of the idiom, as chickens lay eggs, but people do not.
