Answer 1

The correct option is A The used verb form is correct.

Simple present tense is used to express the action which is repeated or usual (hobby or habit or routine). The given sentence indicates the routine of the speaker of using a car to travel to work. The syntax for simple present tense is:
Verb in its first form (s/es) (with singular subject)
Verb in its first form (with plural subject)
'I' & 'You' are exceptional cases, which in spite of being singular subjects take the verb of plural subjects. Therefore, the correct option is: go. The given verb form of the sentence is correct. All the other options are not in the simple present tense. Just remember that whenever you are stating a fact, habit, truth: Use the simple present tense.
