‘To drive home’

B. To return to place of rest
C. Back to original position
D. To emphasize

Answer 1

Hint:Idiom is a group of words or more than two words which are created or made to mean differently or not exactly what the original meaning of it is.
For example, Rohit put down the offer made by the opponent team and walked away from there.
Here, put down is the idiom used which means to decline any offer or something similar.
Using idioms in sentences make the sentence more expressive and increases its audacity and structure.

Complete answer:
-Option A- to find one’s roots- this means to dig into a matter more deeply and find out its true cause or reason.
Example- Rohit decided to find the roots of the accident.
-Option B- to return to place of rest- is an incorrect answer because it is not the meaning of the phrase provided.
-Option C- back to original position – is an incorrect answer because it means to return to the initial place or position.
-Option D- to emphasize-is the correct answer because the provided phrase means to emphasize something more efficiently to someone.
Example- Rohit decided to drive the importance of drinking water properly to his sister as she is always careless about it.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘D’.
