Solution
Verified by Toppr

‘ Esprit de corps’ means a feeling of pride and mutual loyalty shared by the members of a group, hence the right meaning of this phrase is unity, as this feeling is shared by the entire group together, hence Option D is the correct answer.
Option A is incorrect because ‘bravery’ means to be bold and not scared and that is not what esprit de corps means.
Option B is incorrect because it is not just loyalty, but also pride and strength, hence it is unity.
Option C is incorrect because ‘subordination’ means a low rank, which is not related.
