'Idiomatic expressions are a
type of informal English that have a meaning different from the meaning
of the words in the expression.'
An idiomatic phrase (or phrasal verb) is a verb that forms a phrase with a preposition or other such elements, to produce a meaning different than the literal one.

which are not quite relevant. Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
