Answer options

  1. of
  2. in
  3. by
  4. from

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: from

Explanation: Context: The correct preposition after ‘children’ when referring to the parent is ‘by’. But in natural modern English, ‘from’ is also acceptable, especially in Indian usage; it indicates lineage or relationship. 1. of ❌ – incorrect usage here. 2. in ❌ – not used in this context. 3. by ❌ – less natural in this sentence. 4. from ✅ – correct in Indian English; indicates parentage. Correct Sentence/Example Sentence: She has three children from her husband.
