Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The correct option is B: to.
Detailed Explanation
When someone is accountable or answerable to a person or authority, the adjective "responsible" is followed by the preposition "to" (e.g., "responsible to the Chief Minister").
When "responsible" refers to a specific task, duty, or outcome, it is followed by the preposition "for" (e.g., "responsible for their work"). Since the blank in the question refers to the person/authority they are accountable to, "to" is the correct preposition.
