The correct answer is

cut down

The correct answer is cut down.

Using the correct phrasal verb like "cut down on" makes your English sound natural and accurate. Mistakes with phrasal verbs, like using "cut off on" instead of "cut down on," are common but can change or obscure the intended meaning. When you encounter an unfamiliar verb-preposition combination, check a dictionary or reliable grammar resource to confirm its meaning and usage. Paying attention to how native speakers use these phrases is also very helpful.
