Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. close.

To close is to shut something or to end something. Ex:- You could close a door .

'monuments' is plural and the sentence is in present tense. Hence, 'Close' is correct usage.

Therefore the sentence will become:- most monuments close for visitors at 6pm.
