Even though I had planned to go skiing with my friends, I had to __________ at the last moment because of an injury.
Select the most appropriate option to complete the above sentence.
Answer: D
The phrase is back out.
To back out is to withdraw from something one had agreed or planned to do. The sentence says the speaker had planned a skiing trip but an injury forced a last-minute withdrawal, and 'even though' signals exactly that reversal of plan.
To back up is to support someone or to make a copy of data. 'Back on' does not stand alone as a phrasal verb with this sense; 'go back on' means to break a promise and needs an object. 'Back of' is a noun phrase (the back of something), not a verb.
