Discussion
To those of us who had always thought him timid, his ___ came as a surprise.
Answer: A
The word is intrepidity.
The sentence contrasts what people expected (he was timid) with what surprised them. The surprise must be the opposite of timidity, which is intrepidity, fearlessness or boldness.
'Inability' and 'inertness' (lack of action) would fit a timid man and would not be a surprise. 'Inevitability' (being certain to happen) is not a personal quality that can be contrasted with timidity at all.
