Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1) i.e. 'called out.'
The error lies in Part (called off) of the sentence.
• The phrasal verb 'called off means to decide that something will not happen.
• The phrasal verb 'called out' means to summon someone to deal with an emergency situation; or to draw critical attention to someone's unacceptable actions or behaviour .
• Therefore, the use of 'called off' in the sentence should be replaced with 'called out' to make it grammatically correct.
• Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.
