Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The correct option is C take
Options A and C: One uses the verb 'take' to describe the action of 'clicking a photograph'. One does not use the verb 'make'. This is because 'make' means that you're creating something, whereas a photograph is not created. It's merely capturing the existing scene in front of you. The distinction is made clearer when you say 'take a picture' as opposed to the phrase 'make a picture'.
Hence C is the correct option and A is incorrect.
Option B: 'Do' means 'to perform'. It isn't suitable for this sentence as a photo cannot be 'performed' ('done'). Hence B is incorrect.
Option D: 'Have' is a verb that means 'to possess something'. It does not relate to the given sentence. 'It needs a photographer to have photos to go along...' does not have a complete meaning. Hence option D is incorrect.
