Answer 2

Answer :

This question is based on prepositions.

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'prepositions' as 'a word that connects a noun, a noun phrase, or a pronoun to another word, esp. to a verb, another noun, or an adjective.'

'Off' is a preposition, which according to Cambridge English Dictionary, means 'used with actions in which something is removed or removes itself from another thing.' This definition is according to the context of the given sentence.

So, the correct sentence is :

The boy licked the cream off the plate in minutes.
