Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

People often use nobody as in: "Agbo says he is not afraid of nobody" but this is incorrect as it contains a double negative. In standard English grammar, double negatives are generally avoided because they can create confusion. The correct way to express the idea without a double negative is "Agbo says he is not afraid of anybody."

So the appropriate option is: A. anybody
