Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the underlined words (though the underlining isn't fully clear, we look at the context). "Stretched", "relaxed", "heartbeat steadied", and "high - fived new members" suggest a positive, committed attitude. "Surprise" would involve unexpected reactions, "relief" is about easing worry, and "regret" is about remorse. "Dedication" fits as his actions show commitment to the team.

Answer:

dedication
