In the given sentence: The school is organising a trekking. trip for the students belonging to tenth standard. The preposition, 'of' is used to show belonging or possession. Hence, this is the most appropriate preposition which can fill blank no. 24 and option D is correct.

The preposition, 'for' means 'intended to help or benefit someone/something'. It is also used to state the purpose of an object or action. 'For' is also used to express a length of time or a distance.

The preposition, 'to' expresses motion in the direction of (a particular location). It is also used for identifying the person or thing affected by or receiving something.

The preposition, 'with' means 'accompanied by'.

As none of these words can mean the same as 'belonging to', options A, B and C are incorrect.
