Correct Answer: off


Solution : The second option is the correct answer.

"Call off" means to cancel something, especially an event. This is the only phrasal verb that fits the sentence appropriately.

"Call down" means to request or order someone to come down from a higher place.

"Call out" means to shout or verbally summon someone or something can also mean to publicly criticise or challenge.
Therefore, the correct answer is: "Due to heavy rains, the match was called off."
