Correct Answer: to


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

The preposition "to" is the correct choice in this sentence because it is used to indicate the person to whom someone is getting married. In this context, "to" is the appropriate preposition to connect the subject (he) with the person he is marrying (Maya).

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Only is an adverb and doesn't convey the intended meaning of who he is marrying.
  • By and with are not the appropriate prepositions for expressing the idea of marriage in this context.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: He is getting married to Maya.
