Answer 1

A. spontaneous recovery

Step-by-step explanation:

Spontaneous recovery is a term that refers to the reappearance of something (feeling, feeling, among others) that has passed a period of time without appearing, but has appeared before. In Shahid's case, the spontaneous recovery explains why he was again afraid to drive during a snowfall since he had not felt that fear for a long time.
