Correct option is D

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (d) No substitution.
Explanation:
· The phrase “to provide for” is grammatically correct.
· “To provide for someone” means to support them financially or meet their needs.
· The structure “to + base verb” is also correct here as it indicates purpose.
Grammatical Rule Used:
· When a verb is followed by “to” indicating purpose, it is followed by base form of verb (infinitive).

Example:
· He works day and night to provide for his children’s education.
�� Grammar Booster: Avoid unnecessary substitutions when the original expression is an accepted phrasal verb and grammatically sound.
