Explanation: The collocation "fond of" is used to express liking or enjoyment. Use "fond of" with a noun or gerund to show preference.
"of" — Correct. Example: "He is fond of playing cricket."
"to" — Incorrect. "Fond to" is not a standard construction after "fond."
"on" — Incorrect. "Fond on" is nonstandard; the correct preposition is "of."
"at" — Incorrect. "Fond at" is not used to express liking in this context.
