Solution
The correct option is A Object of a preposition
In the given sentence, the subject is "she" and NOT the noun clause. Option B, then, is incorrect. The noun clause does not follow a linking verb either, making option C incorrect as well.
Noun clauses that follow a preposition are usually the object of the preposition. The underlined noun clause follows the preposition "in" and answers what the subject is not interested in. Therefore, option A is the correct answer while option D is incorrect.
