まず、この文は「 Billは遅いので、急いで彼に＿＿＿＿」という意味です。ここで、それぞれの答えを 1 つずつ検討していきます。
a. tell him ：これが現在の単純な形です。ただし、原文は過去形「 was 」なので、現在形で「 tell 」を使うのは適切ではありません。
b. told him for : このフレーズは文法的に正しくありません。この文脈では、動詞「 told 」には通常「 for 」は付きません。
c. told to ：「 told 」には直接目的語が必要なため、このフレーズも文法的に間違っています。たとえば、「 told him 」や「 told her 」などです。
d. told him to : これは文法的に正しいフレーズです。 「 Told him to 」は、私（話者）がBill過去に何かをするように（この場合は"hurry up" ）言ったことを表します。
したがって、正しい文は次のようになります。 "Bill was slow, so I told him to hurry up."
正解はd. told him to.
