Explanation

Deference means showing respect or high regard to someone. 'Respect' is the closest synonym among the options. 'Manners' is related but too broad - it doesn't capture the specific attitude of submission or regard that deference implies. 'Haughtiness' is actually an antonym (arrogance or superiority).
