Solution

The correct option is D from

The preposition ‘from’ is used to indicate where something originates or springs from. The accident is the origin of the injury from which Reema is recovering. It denotes the state that Reema is overcoming. Therefore option D is correct. Whereas, ‘to’ is used to refer to the state one attempts to reach, i.e. the endpoint, which is the opposite of what the sentence attempts to convey. Therefore option B is incorrect. On the other hand, ‘with’ is used to refer to the tool that is used for performing an action. Since ‘the accident’ is not a tool option A is incorrect. ‘For’ is a preposition of reason that denotes why something happens. Reema is not recovering for the sake of the accident hence option C is incorrect.
