- since
- from
- for
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Understand the sentence.
The sentence refers to a period of time that has elapsed. The preposition "for" is used to indicate the duration of time. For example, "for five years" means the entire duration of those years.
Step 2: Analyze the options.
- (a) "to": Incorrect. "To" is used to indicate direction or destination, not duration.
- (b) "since": Incorrect. "Since" is used to indicate a point in time, not a period of time.
- (c) "from": Incorrect. "From" is used to indicate the starting point of an action, not a duration.
- (d) "for": Correct. "For" is the correct preposition to use when referring to a duration of time.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct answer is (d) for.
