Explanation

Option (c) is the correct explanation: "I'm going to face a difficult situation and ask my boss for a raise." The phrase "bite the bullet" is an idiom that means to face a difficult or unpleasant situation with courage and determination. In this context, the speaker is using this idiom to say that they are going to face the potentially uncomfortable situation of asking their boss for a raise. Other options are incorrect as they offer literal interpretations of the phrase "bite the bullet" that have nothing to do with the intended meaning in this context.
