Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: picked up

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: C) picked up šŸ“š Explanation: The phrasal verb 'picked up' is used in daily conversation to mean purchasing, acquiring, or casually selecting an item from a store display. It shows that Akash chose and bought a book about fantasy creatures. Other combinations like 'picked on' mean to bully or harass someone, which is completely out of context here. Thus, 'picked up' provides the most appropriate functional meaning for a shopping scenario.
