• A. Cutting of telephone wires
• B. To be disconnected abruptly during a telephone conversation
• C. Banging the receiver
• D. Disinterest of the listener

Answer 1

The correct option is B To be disconnected abruptly during a telephone conversation

A phrasal verb is a group of words which provide idiomatic meaning using different combinations of verb, adverb, preposition etc. Option B)To be disconnected abruptly during a telephone conversation is correct as cut off with reference to a telephone call means a sudden disconnection during the course of a telephonic conversation.

The other options are incorrect as cutting of telephone wires, banging the receiver, and disinterest of the listener doesn't refer to a sudden disconnection during a telephonic conversation.
