Solution

The correct option is D broken up
Option D is the correct answer because the phrasal verb 'broken up' means to stop having a relationship. To simplify, phrasal verbs are basically multi-word verbs.
Options A, B and C are incorrect because 'broken into' means forcefully entered, 'broken down' means not working properly or very sad and 'broken away' means to escape or leave and move away. None of these usages would make logical sense in the given sentence.
