A Correct answer
Explanation

To brandish means to wave or display something (often a weapon) in a threatening manner. Threaten means to present a danger or menace. Since brandishing typically involves threatening, these are closely related meanings. The other options don't fit: search means to look for, oppress means to burden unjustly, and reinforce means to strengthen.
