Answer :

This question is based on phrasal verbs.

The correct sentence is :

I wish we could sell the large study table: it takes up too much space here.

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'phrasal verb' as 'a phrase that consists of a verb with a preposition or adverb or both, the meaning of which is different from the meaning of its separate parts.'

'Take up' is a phrasal verb which, according to Macmillan Dictionary, means 'to fill a particular amount of space or time.'
