Hint:

In English, phrasal verbs like "turn up" can have multiple meanings depending on context. Always consider the surrounding words to identify the correct meaning.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The phrase "turn up" is commonly used to mean "to appear unexpectedly" or "to show up." For example, "She turned up at the party without any prior notice." It does not mean to turn something on or to wait for someone. The phrase can also mean to increase the volume or to find something, but the most fitting meaning here is "to appear unexpectedly."
