Hi Zea,
No, option (d) is not correct because when we are talking about the word 'bored,' a person is/gets bored with something, someone or something they are doing. On the other hand, if someone or something is exciting/interesting/boring, a person may feel excited/interested/bored.
However, 'bored up' is not used and it's not a phrasal verb.
Take care,
Linda

when you said that "bored up" is not used, did you mean that "to become bored up" makes no sense? If not then could you tell me the meaning of it (An example would be welcome)

Hi Lost Soul,
Both 'became bored up' and 'bored up' make no sense and they aren't used in everyday English at all. As I mentioned before, get/be bored is the proper way to say that you're bored with something.
For example, "I got bored with lying on the beach all day." OR "I am bored because I have nothing to do right now."
I hope this helps.
