Arpita Datta answered
Explanation:


Infinitives are verb forms that are used as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. They are formed by adding "to" before the base form of the verb. In this question, we need to use the infinitive form of the verb to complete the sentence.

Answer:


The correct answer is option 'B', Go.


Reason:


The sentence is in the past tense, so we need to use the past tense of the verb "saw". The sentence is incomplete, and we need to add a verb after the object pronoun "him". The verb should be in its base form or the infinitive form. The correct sentence would be "I saw him go". Here, "go" is the infinitive form of the verb, and it functions as the object of the verb "saw".
