A Correct answer
Explanation

This is a imperative sentence about breakfast priority. The structure 'If you have to work before breakfast, _____ your breakfast first' uses the imperative form for the second clause. 'Get' is the correct imperative base form. 'Got' is past tense, 'had got' is past perfect, and 'will get' is future tense - none fit the imperative structure that parallels 'Never work' in the first sentence.
