None of the above

Correct option is B

The correct preposition to use in this context is "of". We generally use "of" to indicate the cause of death or a condition that led to someone's death, such as "died of cancer," "died of cholera," or "died of heart failure."

Information Booster:

  1. "Died of" is the most commonly used construction when specifying the disease or condition responsible for death.
  2. "Died from" is often used for physical injuries or external sources, like "died from a car accident."
  3. "Died with" implies a coexisting condition that may not be the primary cause of death.
  4. English prepositions can change meaning depending on context, e.g., "died of" for diseases and "died from" for accidents or injuries.
  5. Understanding prepositions is crucial in distinguishing subtle differences in meaning.
