Answer 2

Answer :

This question is based on phrasal verbs.

The correct sentence is :

The burglar broke down under questioning.

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.'

'Break down' is a phrasal verb which, according to the Collins English Dictionary, means 'If someone breaks down, they lose control of themselves and start crying.'
