Correct Answer: accused for stealing


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The error lies in the phrase "accused for stealing".

The correct construction is "accused of" followed by the action or offence someone is accused of committing.

The preposition "of" is typically used after the verb "accused" to indicate the action or offence someone is being accused of committing.
