Hint: A noun is defined as any word which can be used to identify anything such as people, places. It is an important part of a sentence.

Complete answer:
“On the move” is a phrase that is an example of an idiomatic expression. An idiomatic expression is defined as a group of words or a single word that does not imply the actual meaning of the phrase, in other words, it has another meaning concerned with it. Here the phrase has a meaning that he is still active despite him becoming old. It has a meaning which is very much different from its literal meaning.
Considering the other given options-
The word “take” doesn’t possess a meaning when connected with the sentence, thus this option cannot be used in this context.
Similarly, the word “road” also does not contribute the meaning to this sentence, thus this word can also not be used in the sentence given above.
“Give” also doesn’t make a meaningful sentence, in the given phrase, thus it is also not an appropriate answer.
From the above-given options relating to the question given, the appropriate option given was A, since it makes the most meaningful sentence.
The complete and meaningful sentence thus formed is “Even though the age has caught up with him now, he is still always on the move.”
