She has never broken a promise she made.

正解 · Answer

解説 · Why

Japanese uses different "break" verbs depending on the object. The fixed collocation with 約束 (promise) is 約束を破る. 壊す・割る・折る all mean "break" physically but never collocate with 約束.

誤答 · Why the other options are wrong
壊す is for physically breaking objects or ruining machines/relationships, not promises.
割る is for breaking flat or brittle things: glass, plates, eggs.
折る is for snapping long thin objects: branches, bones, or folding paper.
