Correct Answer: Children are fond of sweets.


Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

The correct preposition to use after fond in this context is of. The preposition of is used after the adjective fond to indicate what the children have an affection for or liking for. In English, we use fond of, to express liking or affection for something.

Therefore, the correct answer is: "Children are fond of sweets."
