Solution

The correct option is B used / to going

The verb or verbs in a sentence should complement the tense of the sentence. In this question, option B is correct as “used” in simple past tense does not require an adverb of time and the verb “going to” concurs with the past continuous tense which indicates persistent habits, as given in the context. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
“Use” in option A is grammatically incorrect as the tense of this verb does not concur with the rest of the sentence.
Both options C and D are incorrect as “used to” cannot be used with a third “to” as would happen if these options are used.
Thus, option B is the correct answer.
