Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

1. Option A: Turns the idiom literal, losing its meaning.
2. Option B: Also literal and unrelated to the intended sense.
3. Option C: Same issue, a literal restatement, not the idiom's meaning.
4. Option D: The original idiom is already correct as used.

Since no change is needed, the correct answer is Option D.
