    Correct option is A


    The correct option to fill in the blank is (a) from.
    Correct sentence:
    Don’t try to divert me from my principles.
    Explanation:
    The preposition “from” is used with the verb “divert” to express movement away from something—in this case, personal beliefs or principles. It's a fixed collocation: “divert from something”, indicating separation or deviation.
    Meaning of the correct word: · From: Used to indicate separation or departure
    · Hindi: से; किसी स्थान, मार्ग, विचार या सिद्धांत से अलग होने का संकेत ✅
    Grammatical rule used:
    Verb + Preposition Collocation – Certain verbs like “divert” require specific prepositions. When expressing removal or change from an original position or idea, “from” is always used.
    Hindi explanation:
    "Divert" का अर्थ होता है "हटाना" और जब किसी को उसकी सोच या मूल्यों से हटाने की बात होती है, तो "from" preposition का प्रयोग होता है।
    उदाहरण: He diverted my attention from the problem.
    Meanings of all other given options:
    · On: Used to indicate a surface, a topic, or involvement.
    Hindi: पर; किसी विषय, स्थान, या समय को दर्शाने के लिए ❌
    · For: Indicates purpose, benefit, or intended recipient.
    Hindi: के लिए; उद्देश्य या लाभार्थी को दर्शाने के लिए ❌
    · About: Indicates the subject or topic of something.
    Hindi: के बारे में; किसी विषय या व्यक्ति से संबंधित जानकारी देने के लिए ❌
