Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: takes after

Explanation: takes after ✅: Means to resemble someone in appearance or character. Example: The girl takes after her mother in looks and habits. call in ❌: Means to visit or summon. Not correct here. puts off ❌: Means to postpone or delay. Doesn’t fit the context. puts by ❌: Means to save money for future use. Not related to resemblance. So, the right phrasal verb is ‘takes after’, as the sentence refers to the girl resembling her mother. ✔
