Either, there are only two routes, 3 year spouse of BC or 5 years residence. Just as long as you meet the requitments for whichever.

3 year route applies if you are married, regardless of whether you are separated. You need your spouses British passport copy for the application.

If you are divorced, then 5 year route.

You have to fill the form in accurately and honestly.

You complete the online form and pay. Then register to book an appointment at Sopra Steria UKCVAS, which is where you upload your forms as far as I understand.
After wards i have to book the appointment do i have to pay extra fee for the appointment at the nearest centre.
See above. There is a fee for some centres and services yes.

It's your photos!

Pay and submit after you have chosen your ukcvas service. Book appointment.
Example.after payment how to upload documents or I have submit to paid centre such I have the nearest one is in croydon.
You scan and upload. It also depends on what service you choose for your appointment.

They don't keep originals!!
