Solution

The correct option is A to cook
In order to fill in the blank with the most suitable verb, we need to understand the usage of 'make'. 'Make' means to force someone to do something. If 'make' is used in a passive (voice) sentence, we use the word 'to' along with the verb. In an active sentence, we do not use 'to' with the verb. The verbs without the marker 'to', are called bare infinitives.
As the given sentence is in the passive voice, we will not use the bare infinitive here; we will use the verb with the marker 'to'.
Option B - 'Cook' is a verb in its original form, and we need a verb with 'to'. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'Cooks' is the third person form of the verb 'cook'. It doesn't have the marker 'to'. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'To cooked' can't be used here, as we need the verb in its original form with the marker 'to'. 'Cooked' is the past form of the verb 'cook'. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option A - 'To cook' can be used here, as the verb with the marker 'to' is in its original form. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
'I was made to cook pizza by my mother.'
