Verified Explanation

The correct answer is D. on

The complete sentence is: Good traders have a keen eye on profit.

Explanation:

The idiomatic expression “have a keen eye on” means to watch or observe something very closely, often with the intention of taking action. In this context, it suggests that skilled traders are always alert to opportunities for making money. They monitor the market carefully, ready to capitalize on chances for profit.

Other options:

  • A. about “About” suggests concerning or on the subject of something. It doesn’t convey the close, purposeful observation implied here.
  • B. over “Over” can mean above or covering. It doesn’t fit the idea of keeping a watchful eye in this context.
  • C. around “Around” refers to surrounding or being in the vicinity of something. It’s not the right preposition for the given phrase.
