$\huge{\boxed{\red{\bf{Answer}}}}$

Since Shylock demanded only justice, Portia assures Shylock that he shall have a pound of Antonio’s flesh.

⫸ Explanation:-

Portia allows Shylock to have a pound of Antonio's flesh, as per the bond. But she tells him that if he sheds even a single drop of blood the bond will be considered invalid. Since it's not mentioned in the bond Portia takes advantage of that and traps Shylock in his own setup, thus saving the life of Antonio.
