Correct Option: 3
- steal your credit: This phrase means to take the recognition for someone else's work or ideas. While it fits the context to some extent, it is not the most commonly used idiom for this situation.
- steal your crown: This phrase is not a common idiom. It could imply taking your position or title, but it does not fit well in the context of presenting someone else's ideas as their own.
- steal your thunder: This is the correct idiom. "Steal your thunder" means to take credit for someone else's ideas or achievements, or to do something that takes attention away from someone else's accomplishments. This fits perfectly with the context of co-workers presenting your ideas as their own.
