Correct Answer:

Often

Explanation:

The correct answer is OPTION 1 - OFTEN

The phrase "off and on" means that visits to the mall occur intermittently or sporadically, rather than regularly or consistently. It suggests that the visits are not continuous but happen occasionally, with breaks or gaps in between.

Similarly,"Often goes to the mall" means that someone frequently or regularly visits the mall. It implies that this person makes trips to the mall on a recurring basis, indicating a pattern of behavior where they go there with some degree of frequency.
