(a) Do it by any means.
(b) Answer by return post.
(c) I for one do not believe it.
(d) He built castles in the air.
Answer: B
The incorrect sentence is Answer by return post.
The fixed phrase is 'by return of post', meaning by the next post back. Dropping of breaks the idiom, so the sentence should read 'Answer by return of post'.
The other three are correct. 'Do it by any means' uses the idiom 'by any means', in any way possible. 'I for one do not believe it' uses 'for one' to mean 'I, at least'. 'He built castles in the air' is the standard idiom for daydreaming about plans that will never come true.
