Solution
The correct option is D Resign himself to A phrasal verb combines of a verb with a preposition or adverb or both and functions as a verb whose meaning is different from the combined meanings of the individual words.
The required meaning is to accept something unpleasant that cannot be changed or avoided. In addition, an emphatic pronoun is needed.
Option A suggests the mood of doing something which is to be done surely irrespective to any circumstances. It has a note of emphasis, therefore, this option is the correct answer.
Whereas, options B, C and D are incorrect because option B does not contain an emphatic pronoun to construct the phrasal verb incorporated sentence; option C means to stop over something; option D is not applicable for its incorrect prepositional phrase.
