    C.

    from

    D.

    off

    Correct option is C


    The correct option to fill in the blank is (c) from.
    • The verb recover takes the preposition from when we talk about illness, injury, shock, loss, etc.
    • “Recover from an illness” is a fixed and correct usage.
    • Hence, “recover from his illness” is grammatically correct.
    Correct sentence:
    • The old man is yet to recover from his illness.
    Grammatical Rule Used (English):
    • Fixed collocation: recover from + illness/disease/injury/shock.
    Grammatical Rule Used (Hindi):
    • “Recover” के साथ बीमारी/चोट आदि के लिए सही preposition from होता है।
    • सही प्रयोग: recover from illness (बीमारी से ठीक होना)।
    Meanings of the other options:
    • (a) With: used for association/togetherness (के साथ)
    • (b) Of: used for relation/belonging (का/के/की)
    • (d) Off: used for separation/removal (से हटकर/उतारकर)
