Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The first option is appropriate because 'reason of' should be replaced with 'reason for' which means 'to express the cause for doing something'.

Other options such as 'reason of' and ' reason on '  are also out of context as they are not phrasal verbs and  hence are incorrect.

Therefore, the correct statement should be "The reason for her outburst at the party is yet unknown."
