Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. cost an arm and a leg.
The idiom "cost an arm and a leg" is the most appropriate to replace the phrase "very expensive" in the sentence. This idiom means that something is extremely costly.
The other idioms don't fit the context: "up in arms" refers to being very angry or upset, "flog a dead horse" means wasting effort on something futile, and "take it with a pinch of salt" suggests skepticism or not taking something too seriously.
