Solution

The correct option is B put up with
A phrasal verb is a verb combined with an adverb or preposition (sometimes both) to provide a meaning different from the literal meaning of that individual verb. We need to identify the phrasal verb from the given options, 'put up with' is a phrasal verb as it's of the form verb (put) + adverb (up) + preposition (with) and means 'to endure or tolerate someone', hence option B is correct. 'I cannot' is a phrase consisting of a pronoun (I) and a modal verb (cannot), but we need a phrasal verb, hence option A is incorrect. 'Increasing' is a participle (verb form that functions as an adjective) that modifies the noun 'tantrums'. It is not a phrasal verb, and 'tantrums' is a noun, hence options C and D are incorrect.
