Solution

The correct option is D With
Answer : D

Prepositions are words that indicate relationships with the other words in the sentence. Prepositions of manner are used to describe / express "how" something happened or is done.
Let's look at the usage of various alternatives in the option as preposition of manner:

  • by : it is used to talk about actions (usually formed by gerund / noun); it is used to indicate the means of achieving something
  • of : not used as a preposition of manner
  • with : used to refer to objects or tools used to achieve something (usually followed by a noun)
  • for : not used as a preposition of manner

"that" is usually used to refer to a thing (or a person). Therefore, the suitable preposition here is "with".

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:
What do you expect me to do WITH that?
