Solution

The correct option is A Cover the fire.
The people of medieval England had to follow curfew at eight o’clock every night. The term “curfew” literally means “cover the fire”. As the cities of England were small and overcrowded, there were possibilities of outbreak of fire. The curfew regulation was for everyone in the city to extinguish or cover the fire.
