satisfy bobs parents compensated him for
mowing the lawn.
repay for services
borrow and return later
take without providing payment

Explanation:

The word "compensated" is made up of word parts "com" (together), "pen" (payment), and "sat" (to satisfy). Bob mowed the lawn (a service), and his parents would likely give him money (payment) for it. "Repay for services" fits this context as it implies giving something (like money) in return for a service (mowing the lawn). "Borrow and return later" has no relation to payment or service - related exchange. "Take without providing payment" is the opposite of what would happen when someone does a service (like mowing the lawn) - they expect payment, not having something taken without payment.

Answer:

repay for services
