      B call for Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C all my strength Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D to finish the marathon Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The phrasal verb lsquo;call forrsquo; is inappropriate here. The correct phrasal verb is lsquo;call onrsquo;, which means lsquo;to use a quality, usually something that requires a great effort, in order to achieve somethingrsquo;. I had to call on all my strength to finish the marathon.
