Hint:Synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning and to avoid repetition synonyms are used. For example: the synonym of beautiful is pretty and adorable.

Complete answer:
We must find the meaning of prowess and the meaning of words that are given in the options. And both the words should have the same meaning or the exact sense.
The meaning of prowess is ‘skill or expertise in a particular activity or field or expertise or mastery or bravery in battle field’ and we must find the correct answer from the options given whose meaning is same as of prowess.

Option A) Understanding - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of understanding is ‘the ability to understand something; comprehension or grasp or grip’ and this is not the synonym of prowess because their meanings are not the same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option B) Kindness - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of kindness is ‘the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate or kindliness’ and this is not the synonym of prowess because their meanings are not the same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option C) Eagerness - is an incorrect answer because the meaning of eagerness is ‘enthusiasm to do or to have something; keenness or enthusiasm’ and this is not the synonym of prowess because their meanings are not same. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option D) Bravery - is the correct answer because the meaning of bravery is ‘courageous behaviour or character or courage’ and this is the synonym of the word prowess and they can be used in place of each other because they have similar meaning. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘D’.

Note: Synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning i.e. synonym of prowess is bravery, and antonym are the words that are opposite in meaning and the antonym of prowess is inability. Thus, Option D is the correct answer as the question is all about telling the same or similar meaning of the word prowess and other options are wrong.
