    A Ran off Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Ran at Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Ran out Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Ran up Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No Correction Required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The phrasal verb " ran out of " means to exhaust the supply or use up something, which correctly conveys that the speaker has finished their milk supply. The original phrase " ran down of " is grammatically incorrect in this context. Ran off – escaped or left suddenly Ran at – charged toward something or someone aggressively Ran up – accumulated (like debt or expenses)
