Correct answer: D. To make a beginning
- A. Walk on thin ice
- B. Swallow ice-cubes
- C. Chisel an ice-block

Explanation
The correct answer is D: 'To make a beginning.' The idiom 'break the ice' refers to taking steps to initiate communication or ease tension in a social setting, particularly when people are meeting for the first time or when the atmosphere is strained. Options A and C describe literal actions involving ice, and thus do not capture the figurative meaning of the idiom. Option B is a literal action that is unrelated to the idiom's meaning.
