Explicació
The sentence suggests that the man shows determination and decisiveness ("puts his foot down") when he believes in his actions or decisions. This indicates a firmness of character rather than a desire to assert dominance, make an impact everywhere, or oppress others. Option D aligns most closely with the idea of demonstrating firmness in one's convictions.
