Choose the sentences which show the correct usage of phrasal verbs:(A…

The correct answer is Option (3) → (A) and (B) only

Note: The given answer is as per the official NTA Answer Key. However, sentence (A) is not fully correct as printed: "egg on" is a separable phrasal verb, and when its object is a pronoun the pronoun must come between the two words ("egged him on", not "egged on him"). Strictly, only (B) is fully correct, so none of the options is fully right; Option (3) is the closest, as (A) uses "egg on" in the right sense, as explained below.

(A) The unruly students egged on him to break the lock and enter the dean's office. — Correct (as per NTA). Egg on means to urge or encourage someone to do something, usually something wrong or foolish; the students urged him to break the lock. In standard order: "The unruly students egged him on to break the lock".
Example: His friends egged him on to jump into the river.

(B) We promise to wrap up the session before sun-down. — Correct. Wrap up means to finish or bring to an end; the speakers promise to end the session before sunset.
Example: Let us wrap up the meeting by five o'clock.

(C) Please turn in the volume of your music system. — Incorrect. Turn in means to hand in (work) or to go to bed; to lower the volume, the phrasal verb is turn down.
Correct form: Please turn down the volume of your music system.
Example: Please turn in your answer sheets now.

(D) She will not come to school today as she has suddenly come up with viral fever. — Incorrect. Come up with means to think of or produce an idea or plan; for falling ill, the phrasal verb is come down with.
Correct form: She will not come to school today as she has suddenly come down with viral fever.
Example: She came up with a clever solution to the problem.
