Correct Answer: fighting on behalf at his country


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

The correct preposition to use after on behalf is "of". When expressing actions or efforts done for the benefit or representation of someone or something, on behalf of is the correct phrase. The use of "at" in the original sentence is incorrect and creates a prepositional error.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The soldier met a fearless death fighting on behalf of his country.
