Correct Answer: back on


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation: The phrase "fall back on" is a common expression that means to rely on or turn to something or someone for help or support in difficult times. In this context, it is used to indicate that the speaker relies on old friends when they are in need of assistance or support.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:
Over: Across or above; indicating movement or position from one side to another.
Through: Moving from one side to the other; indicating completion, passage, or penetration.
Off: Away from a surface or position; indicating separation or cessation.

So, the sentence would be: "I always fall back on old friends in times of need."
