Complete answer:

 To find the nearest meaning/synonym of any word, we should know the exact meaning of the given word and then compare its meaning to the given options. Synonyms help in increasing a person's vocabulary, especially for writers who don't want to use similar words in close proximity.
In the given question, we have to find the nearest meaning of the word "Audacious", which means "showing a willingness to take surprisingly bold risks." Now we will analyze the options and eliminate the ones that have no close meaning to "audacious". Option a is "obvious", which means "easily perceived or understood." This is nowhere related to the given word, so we'll move forward. Option b is "daring", which means "adventurous or bold". This has a near meaning to the given word. Option c is "manifest", which means, "clear or obvious to the eye or mind". This is also not related to the given word. Option d is "venture", which means, "a risky journey or undertaking". This is not as near as option b, "daring" is to the given word, "audacious". Hence, the correct answer is option b, daring.

Note: A word can have more than one synonym as well, so we have to find out the nearest of the two options.
