Answer 1

The correct option is

A

about

A preposition is a word, which comes before a noun or a pronoun and establishes a relationship between the elements of a clause or words. Option A) 'about' is correct as it is used to express a connection. The other options are wrong as for, with, and by indicate a purpose, inclusion, and usage, respectively. These uses don't fit in the given question. The correct answer is A) about.
