Correct Answer: as


Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

"As an experienced person" conveys the meaning that Piyush has experience and proficiency in playing volleyball.

The options "as though" and "as if" are used to introduce a comparison to describe something that is hypothetical, while "as of'" is used to indicate a specific point in time from which something is measured. Hence, these options do not fit in contextually and are incorrect.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: Piyush plays volleyball as an experienced person.
