The correct option is A while

Answer : A

Subordinating Conjugation : It is a word or phrase used to link a dependent clause to an independent clause.

It is used to:

• show a cause-and-effect relationship between the dependent & subordinate (independent clause)
• to show a relationship involving a transition of time or place between two clause

Let's take a look at the usage of the subordinating conjugations in the options in relation to time:

• while : It is used to express an action in progress; sometimes this action is interrupted
• before : It is used to express that one event precedes another
• if : It is not used to show a relationship of time but is used to introduce a conditional clause; It is used to express a condition that is necessary in order for something to happen; basically to introduce a conditional clause
• as soon as : It is used to express that one event happens first and another happens immediately after

Here in the question, we understand that the speaker expressing that during the time of holiday he/she likes to relax.

Therefore from among the options, 'while' is the most suitable subordinating conjugation to complete the sentence.

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:

I like to relax WHILE I'm on a holiday.
