Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct answer: "After".
"After" is used in the phrase "named after," which means someone is given the same name as another person, usually to honor them.
Example: My best friend, John, is named after his great-grandfather.
Why the other choices are not correct:
"To" is not used in this expression; we do not say "named to."
"About" does not fit; "named about" is not a standard English construction for this meaning.
"For" can sometimes be used (as in "named for") in some varieties of English, but "named after" is the more common and expected phrasing here.
