Correct Answer: from osteoporosis since


Solution : The first option is correct.

  • From should be used in place of with and s ince should be used in place of when to make the sentence correct
  • The verb suffering always uses the preposition "from" when it refers to a disease.
  •  Since is used as a preposition to introduce a date or a specific time in the past, it is normally used with present perfect and past perfect tenses.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Saroj has been suffering from osteoporosis since she was fifty years old.
