To determine the choice that most closely defines the underlined word, we need to examine the context of the sentence. The sentence states that women acquiring too much courage or fortitude is not a cause for fear because of their "apparent inferiority."
Based on this context, the underlined word "inferiority" refers to a perceived or apparent lack of quality or ability compared to others. Therefore, the choice that most closely defines the underlined word is "lack of superiority" or "lack of excellence."
