Correct Answer: fined for driving


Solution : The correct option will be the third option.

The original sentence contains a prepositional error. When referring to the reason for the fine, it is more accurate to use "for" instead of "of".

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "She was fined for driving over the speed limit."
