She _ her mother in looks.
Correct answer: B. takes after
- A. takes over
- B. takes after
- C. takes up
- D. takes in
Explanation
The correct answer is takes after, which is used to indicate that someone resembles another person, particularly in appearance. In this context, it implies that the subject of the sentence has similar looks to her mother. The other options are incorrect because they do not pertain to physical resemblance: takes over refers to assuming control, takes up means to start an activity, and takes in relates to comprehension or absorption of information.
