Correct Answer: climb up


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

The original sentence contains a grammatical error with the usage of used to climbed up. The correct form is used to climb up, where climb is the base form of the verb. In English, after the auxiliary verb used to, the base form of the verb should be used, not the past tense form.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The budding photographer used to climb up the hill every morning to capture the beauty of the rising sun."
