- A. He came across an old friend in the market.
- B. He came into an old friend in the market.
- C. He came on an old friend in the market.
- D. He came off an old friend in the market.
Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: He came across an old friend in the market. The phrase 'came across' means to unexpectedly meet or find someone or something, which fits perfectly in the given context. The other options are incorrect: Option B uses 'came into,' which does not accurately convey the meaning of encountering someone. Option C uses 'came on,' which is not used in this context, and Option D employs 'came off,' which similarly does not relate to meeting someone. Thus, Option A is the only one that accurately reflects the intended meaning.
