Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. It is time someone takes.
In English, when using expressions like "It is time," the verb following "someone" should be in the subjunctive mood, which uses the base form of the verb.
This is because "It is time" is a set phrase that implies a situation that requires action, not a statement of fact. Therefore, instead of "someone takes," the correct form is "someone take." This use of the base form is standard for expressing necessity or urgency in such contexts.
