Explanation:
Intransitive verbs are verbs that do not require a direct object to complete their meaning. They express an action or a state of being that does not transfer to an object. Let's analyze each sentence to identify the intransitive verb:
a) "I jog."
- The verb "jog" is intransitive as it does not require a direct object. It expresses an action performed by the subject "I".
b) "The child gurgles."
- The verb "gurgles" is intransitive as it does not require a direct object. It expresses a sound made by the child.
c) "I saw a movie."
- The verb "saw" is transitive as it requires a direct object. In this sentence, the direct object is "a movie". Therefore, this sentence does not have an intransitive verb.
d) "She sobs."
- The verb "sobs" is intransitive as it does not require a direct object. It expresses an action performed by the subject "she".

The sentence that does not have an intransitive verb is option 'c', "I saw a movie." The verb "saw" is transitive as it requires a direct object. The other sentences, "I jog", "The child gurgles", and "She sobs" all contain intransitive verbs.
