Solution

The correct option is B with
Option C is the correct answer. One of the uses of the preposition 'with' is that it means concerning someone or in the case of. Hence this is the correct usage of 'with'.
Option A is incorrect because 'about' is used to refer to movement or position in various directions or places. It can also mean in connection with or can be used to make a rough estimate of something. None of these usages would fit in this sentence.
Option B is incorrect because 'by' is used to indicate proximity, an action with a particular purpose or to indicate the person that does something in a passive voice sentence. It also indicates a mean or method of doing something.
Option D is incorrect because 'at' is used to point out specific time, place or an activity. Hence the use of 'at' in this sentence would not make any logical sense.
