Correct Answer: with


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation : "With" is the appropriate preposition to be used, as the phrasal verb "cope with" means to deal successfully with the problem. This helps in conveying the intended meaning that he was not able to effectively deal with the workload. The other options are incorrect, as "with" is the only preposition that is used after the word "cope".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He could not cope with the heavy workload."
