Solution

The correct option is A Preposition of Manner
Option B - 'Preposition of Cause' explains the cause of the action in a sentence. For example, 'He works for money'. Here, 'for' is the preposition that shows the cause of the action. As the given sentence doesn't explain any cause, we can't say that it is 'preposition of cause.' Thus option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'Preposition of Place' explains the place of the subject. For example, 'She lives in India.' As the given sentence doesn't explain place, we can't say that it is 'preposition of place'. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Preposition of Inference' doesn't exist. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option A - 'Preposition of manner' explains how the action is done. As the given sentence explains that the action of 'working' was done 'with patience', we can easily conclude that it is the preposition of manner. Thus option A is the correct answer.
