Correct Answer: for
Solution : The third option is the correct answer.
The preposition "for" is required after the adjective "feared" to correctly convey the duration or consequence of the fear. In this context, it indicates that children were paralysed for life as a result of contracting polio. The use of "for" in this construction is grammatically appropriate and helps maintain the intended meaning of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is "for".
