From the options, 'save' also means the same: to rescue from harm or danger. (Consider the sentence: the girl was saved from the predator.') Hence it's the synonym of 'rescue' and option D is correct.
'Peril' means danger, it isn't similar to 'rescue'.
Similarly, 'danger' refers to a situation wherein one gets harmed or injured, it is similar in meaning to 'peril'.
'Pitfall' is also similar to 'peril' and 'danger', it means 'a hidden or unsuspected danger'.
