Correct Answer: of


Solution : The second option is the correct answer since 'of' fits perfectly in the sentence. 'Of' is used to indicate the cause or reason for feeling tired. In this context, it conveys that the speaker is tired because of the activity of walking.

'By' indicates the means of an action, but it doesn't fit the context of feeling tired in relation to walking. 'for' is used to express purpose or intention, and 'in' does not convey the cause of feeling tired in this context. These options are thus, incorrect to use.

So, the final complete sentence is "I am tired of walking."
