Answer: (a) He switched on the radio to listen to the news while having dinner.
Explanation:
Switch can be a noun or verb and in most cases, it means 'to change'.
“I switched from news to YouTube" means the subject adopted (something different) in place of something else.
"He switched on the radio to listen to the news while having dinner" means he turned on the radio.
“Forget these diet supplements and switch to yoga, if you want a true sense of well-being” means to change from something to something else.
"Mom switched to reading fiction recently because she was bored with cookbooks" means mom switched from something to something else as she was bored.
"The company will switch the trucks to other routes to bring down city pollution" meaning the company switched from something to something else.
"He switched on the radio to listen to the news while having dinner" means he turned on the radio.
Thus, in (b), (c), (d), 'switch' means to adopt something instead of something else, whereas in (a), it is a phrasal verb and means 'to turn on (something)'.
