Correct Answer: had to get up


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The original sentence incorrectly used "got" as the past tense, but it should be get up as the "infinitive to" follows the base form of the verb to convey the intended meaning. The improved version maintains the correct tense, making the sentence grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I had to get up early.
