2 has the best phrasing. The rest don’t (unless there’s a typo in 6).

The answer should be phrased like this: It’s “to see.”

Thank you for your help.

7. a verb root
8. a root verb

[Which expression is grammatical? I found #7 on-line. What about #8? Can we use #8?]

I believe the accepted phrase is "root verb".

The grammatically correct expression is #7: "a verb root." The term "verb root" refers to the base form of a verb, which cannot be inflected or modified. On the other hand, the expression #8 "a root verb" is not commonly used and may not be widely recognized or understood. It is best to use the term "verb root" to convey the intended meaning.
