Sentence:     My grandfather used to go  for a walk every morning.  

No eroor in this sentence. So option (D) is correct.

'Used to + infinitive':

We use this expression to talk about habits or repeated actions in the past which we don't do in the present. We also use it to talk about states in the past which are no longer true. For example:

  • I used to have long hair (but now I have short hair).
  • He used to smoke (but now he doesn't smoke).
  • They used to live in India (but now they live in Germany).
