Verified Explanation

The correct answer is C. on

The complete sentence is: We can rely on those buses; they always arrive on time.

Explanation:

The phrase “on time” means punctual or at the expected or planned time. In this context, the buses are reliable because they always arrive at their scheduled time. The preposition “on” is the correct choice to complete this phrase.

Other options:

  • A. for “For” is used to indicate purpose, intention, or duration, but it does not form the correct prepositional phrase in this context.
  • B. to “To” is used to indicate direction or the recipient of an action, but it does not form the correct prepositional phrase in this context.
  • D. by “By” can be used to indicate a deadline or the latest time at which something should happen (e.g., “by 5 o’clock”), but it does not fit the context of arriving at the scheduled or expected time.
