First, let's leave out the couple's relationship in using words in those choices.
Say, a coach wants to make a team into two groups. He can say:
As you can see, no matter which word you use, they are still a team, but just has two groups.
Now, look at this
The teach breaks up the fight between two students.
Here, "break up" means to stop and separate.
With these said, I, personally, feel that "break up" is a better answer as far as the couple relationship is concerned. I mean "split" or "separate" doesn't end the relationship, but "break up" does. "divide" is not good for relationship, "divorce" is a better word. However, if the question emphasizes "don't live together any more", not to end the relationship, then "separate" is a better answer.

to square something off
Here, "off" means 'from" or "away". You need to pay attention to "something"; it is NOT always rounded, it can be in any shape, but make it into a square one. Hence, the phrase means "trim something until it is square, or make something square". With this in mind, you can tell, "off" carries the meaning of
" trim off something's shape",
"from the shape of something",
"away from the original shape of something"
Hopefully, this will satisfy you !
By the way, "square off" can also mean "to get read for an argument or a fight"
