Model Answer

The correct answer is (d) apologise to.

The complete sentence: You should apologise to your mother for your rude behaviour.

"Apologise to" is the correct preposition collocate — we always apologise to a person and for the offence. Options (a), (b), and (c) use incorrect prepositions with this verb.
