Solution
The correct option is A with Option A - 'Of' is used to show possession. As the given sentence doesn't explain possession of 'peacocks dance', we can't use 'of' here. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option C - 'From' is used to indicate a starting point of something or someone. As the given sentence doesn't explain the starting point, we can't use 'from' here. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'To' is used to indicate direction or location. The given sentence needs a preposition for the adjective and not the noun. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option B - 'With' means 'along/ in the presence of someone or something'. The peacocks dance wjth joy, is the correct preposition to use. Thus option B is the correct answer.
