Solution

The correct option is B About

Answer : C

Prepositions are words that indicate relationships with the other words in the sentence. Prepositions of place are used to refer to a place, usually to denote the location of something or someone.

Let's look at the usage of various alternatives in the option as preposition of place:

  • for : not used as a preposition of place
  • with : means "accompanied by (something or someone)"; or "in relation to"
  • off : not used as a preposition of place
  • about : to refer to a particular subject of conversation; to express a location in a particular place

In the sentence, the speaker is conveying that he / she had a dream concerning the other person. Therefore, "about" is the most suitable preposition here.

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:
I had a dream ABOUT you last night.
