Solution

The correct option is D Punish
'Discipline' means to train (someone) to obey rules or a code of behaviour, using punishment to correct disobedience.
"many parents have been afraid to discipline their children"
In this context, discipline means to scold or punish or rebuke. So, He knew very well that his father would discipline or punish him for his actions. So, option D is correct and the others are not because they do not provide the appropriate meaning.
