Correct Answer: to bring


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The infinitive form "to bring" is correct because the infinitive form of the verb is used to express the purpose or intent, which in this case is to bring a new mobile phone. This makes the sentence grammatically accurate and helps convey the meaning that the speaker's father made a promise to her to bring a new mobile phone.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: My father promised to bring a new mobile phone for me.
