Verified Explanation

The correct answer is A. about

The complete sentence is: They are anxious about the examination results.

Explanation:

The preposition ‘about’ is used to indicate the topic or subject of concern. In this sentence, the people are feeling anxious regarding the examination results, so ‘about’ is the correct preposition to use.

Other options:

  • B. by ‘By’ is used to indicate the agent or means by which something is done, but it does not fit the context of the sentence, which is about feeling anxious about the examination results.
  • C. at ‘At’ is used with locations or specific events, but it does not fit the context of the sentence, which is about feeling anxious about the examination results.
  • D. with ‘With’ is used to indicate accompaniment or possession, but it does not fit the context of the sentence, which is about feeling anxious about the examination results.
