Detailed Solution

Concept: A friend who deserts us in difficulties', refers to a friend who tends to leave someone who needs or counts on him/her in difficult times,a friend with self-interests.
'A fair-weather buddy' is the offered phrase. This expression refers to someone whose friendship cannot be counted on in tough times. For example: Don't count on her; she's a fickle buddy. We must choose the proper interpretation of this phrase from the four possibilities provided.
Let us now evaluate all of the supplied alternatives to determine the proper option:
Option 'a' is incorrect because it conveys the incorrect interpretation of the supplied phrase. It is a good idiom directed towards a buddy, whereas the given phrase is a bad idiom directed at a friend.
Option 'b' is the proper interpretation of the given statement since the term 'desert' implies 'to abandon.' This word, like the offered choice, suggests leaving a buddy in tough circumstances.
Option 'c' is inappropriate since it does not express the sense of the supplied phrase, thus we will remove it.
Option 'd' is also erroneous because it has nothing to do with the supplied phrase. As a result, we will also delete this option.
Hence, option 2' is the proper choice.
