Solution
The correct option is A about
The given sentence shows that he is sorry for the situation in which he is connected. Therefore 'about' is the suitable answer, since 'about' is used to indicate someone connected with something. Thus option B is correct. On the other hand 'with' is used to indicate company or presence of someone. Hence option A is inappropriate for the given sentence. The preposition 'to' is used to define any direction or destination. Since the sentence shows the connection between the subject and the situation, option C is unsuitable in the given context. Hence it is incorrect.The completed sentence thus becomes: He said he was sorry about the situation but there was nothing he could do.
