A Correct answer
Explanation

The phrasal verb 'keep off' means to refrain from walking on or staying away from something. For example, signs saying 'keep off the grass' mean you should avoid walking on that area. 'Keep up' means to maintain something, 'keep out' means to prevent entry, and 'keep in' means to confine indoors.
