Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
Many English adjectives and verbs pair with one fixed preposition by convention (a "collocation") rather than by literal meaning -- the correct preposition must be memorised for each word, not derived logically.
Application
The adjective in this sentence forms a fixed pair with the preposition "to" -- this is the standard collocation used to describe a strong or habitual attachment to something, as required by the sentence "Many young people are addicted ____ social media nowadays."
Cross-check
None of the other offered prepositions form a standard collocation with this adjective; substituting them produces phrasing that no standard dictionary or grammar reference records as correct usage, confirming the fixed pairing is the only valid completion.
