- Btripped over
- Ctripped off
- Dtripped in
Explanation
The verb ‘trip’ means to walk with light, quick steps, and ‘trip off’ means to set off walking lightly — ‘she tripped off along the road’ describes her walking away after saying goodbye. ‘Tripped over’ means stumbled, which cannot combine with ‘along the road’; ‘tripped out’ and ‘tripped in’ make no sense here. Hence ‘tripped off’ is correct.
