Correct Answer: Called for


Solution : The second option is the correct answer since ''called for'', which means to demand or request something, fits perfectly in the sentence. It conveys that the teacher is demanding an explanation for the student's conduct.

The option ''called up'' means to make a phone call to someone; ' 'called off'' means to terminate something that had been planned; and ''called on'' means to ask someone to speak or participate, all of which don't fit contextually with the intended meaning of the sentence.

So, the complete sentence is "His teacher called for an explanation of his conduct".
