Solution
The correct option is A hang up Option B is the correct answer because the phrasal verb 'hang up' in this context means to stop using a telephone at the end of a conversation.
Options A, C and D are incorrect because 'hang on' means to hold tightly to something, 'hang out' means to spend a lot of time in a place or with someone and 'hang back' to not do something immediately because you are not confident or you do not feel certain about it.
