    B Called on Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Called off Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Called out Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No correction required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The phrasal verb " call off " means to cancel or abandon an event, which makes logical sense in the context of a meeting being cancelled because too many people were absent. The original phrase " called at " does not fit the meaning here. Called upon – formally requested or asked someone to act Called on – visited or asked for help/support Called out – shouted loudly or challenged someone publicly
