B Correct answer
Explanation

Phrasal verbs have specific meanings. 'Looked round' means checking surroundings in all directions, which is logical before crossing a road. 'Looked for' means searching, 'looked on' means watching as spectator, and 'looked out' means watching for danger or being careful. The context of road-crossing suggests checking all around.
