Correct Answer: over


Solution : The correct answer is the second option.

In this context, "over" is used to indicate that he travelled to various places within the world, implying a comprehensive or extensive journey. The phrase "all over" is a phrase that means "everywhere" or "throughout". When used in expressions like "all over the world", it conveys the idea that something is widely distributed or prevalent across the entire world or a very large area.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: He travelled all over the world when he was eighty years old.
