Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: from

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: B) from šŸ“š Explanation: The verb 'prevent' is traditionally followed by the preposition 'from' and a gerund (verb + ing). This is a fixed grammatical pattern in English used to show that someone was stopped from performing an action. Using 'to' is a common error often caused by confusing the structure with verbs like 'ordered' or 'told'.
