Correct Answer: will prevent the hand sanitiser of


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The correct preposition to use after prevent is from, so it should be "prevent the hand sanitiser from drying out your skin". "Prevent from" is the standard construction when talking about avoiding a specific outcome or action. The preposition to is generally used to indicate direction or purpose, while from is used to indicate origin, separation, or prevention.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Adding aloe vera gel will prevent the hand sanitiser from drying out your skin."
