    Question

    Select the sentence with the appropriate use of preposition.

    A.

    Children are fond to sweets.

    B.

    Children are fond off sweets.

    C.

    Children are fond with sweets.

    D.

    Children are fond of sweets.

    Correct option is D

    Option (d) is the correct answer: "Children are fond of sweets."
     The preposition "of" is used to show possession or relationship between two nouns. In this sentence, "children" is the subject and "sweets" is the object of the preposition "of". The preposition "of" indicates that the children have a fondness for sweets.
     Option (a) is incorrect because the preposition "to" is not appropriate in this context.
     Option (b) is incorrect because the correct preposition to use after "fond" is "of", not "off".
     Option (c) is also incorrect because "with" is not the appropriate preposition to show the relationship between "children" and "sweets".
