Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: from

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: (B) from šŸ“š Explanation: We use 'died of' for diseases (e.g., died of cancer) and 'died from' for external causes or indirect results like overeating, wounds, or exhaustion. Since overeating is a cause/circumstance rather than a specific disease, 'from' is the most appropriate preposition.
