Answer 1

The correct option is B road

Option B: When “road” is used within the given sentence it means, “He walked on the road to the parking lot.”, which is a meaningful sentence. Hence, this is the correct option.

Option A: “rode” is the simple past tense of “ride”. It represents the act of having ridden. It is of no relevance in the given sentence. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option C: “rhoad” is not a word in the English language. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option D: “rhode” is not a word in the English language. Hence, this option is incorrect.
