Twitch
"Fidget" means twitch. "Freeze" can mean solidify from a liquid state to a solid state, or stand motionless; it cannot be the correct answer because its second meaning is an antonym, not a synonym, of "fidget," and its first meaning is unrelated to "fidget." None of the other answers are close in meaning to "fidget": "recover" means recuperate; "compensate" means pay money to someone for a good or service; and "capture" means catch or entrap.
