This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2016 (Tier 1) Previous Year Question Paper (11-Sep-2016) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

fall in

The correct answer is fall in.

The phrase "fall in" is a military command that means to assemble or form a line. The other options don't fit the context of a squadron leader giving an order to his men. "Fall out" means to leave a formation, "fall off" means to detach or drop, and "fall on" typically implies an attack or to begin something forcefully. Therefore, only "fall in" accurately reflects the expected action of soldiers responding to their leader's command.
