Answer:

A. When you're in a difficult situation, you have to learn to maintain a positive attitude despite negative circumstances.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cliché is a word or phrase that is so overused that it loses its original meaning and importance. They are also remarks or sayings that have no originality.

The statement "When put between a rock and a hard place, you must learn to laugh in the face of danger" is a metaphor that is used to talk of an obstacle or when someone is stuck in a tight spot. This cliché can also be rewritten as learning to maintain a positive attitude despite being stuck in a difficult situation.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
