Correct Answer: To move directly towards something


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The idiomatic expression "make a beeline for" is rooted in the image of bees flying directly and purposefully towards a target. In everyday language, this phrase is used to describe someone or something moving swiftly and with a clear objective towards a specific destination or goal.

Therefore, to move directly towards something accurately captures the intended meaning of the idiom.
