"I pay in cash"
OR
"I pay by card"

All of the other options sound very unnatural to me.
For these two, the difference is only in what I use (card or cash) to pay. The action (paying) is the same.

When I use cash to pay I say "I pay in cash" (or "I pay with cash" is also ok!)
And when I use a card to pay I say "I pay by card"

In English, speakers usually use set expressions. So even though "I pay by cash" might seem ok, it will sound awkward to English speakers, just because people always say it the other way! :)

A: "Pay it forward" means to do a good deed for someone else since someone has done one for you.

For example, imagine that you are at the store and you realize as you're paying that you are short on change. The person behind you pays for the rest of your purchase. You tell him/her that you will get some money from your car to pay them back but they say, "Don't worry about it, just pay it forward."
They're asking you to help someone else out in the future when you see the opportunity just like they did for you. It doesn't have to be with money but this could be a common example.

A: “Buy/bought” is usually used when you purchase something and pay all the money for it at once.
