    My father did not know that his brother would tread on his heels.
    Solution
    An idiom is a group of words in a fixed order that has a particular meaning that is different from the meanings of each word on its own. To 'tread on someone's heels' means to follow someone closely, usually associated with behaviour and the kind of paths pursued. Hence option A is the correct answer.
    Options B, C and D are incorrect simply because none of them is the correct meaning of the specified idiom.
