Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct answer: 'from'
Use the preposition pair 'from ... to ...' to indicate a change or range between two values.
Example: The passenger car sales showed a decline from 7% to 5.6%.
Why 'to' alone is wrong: 'to' needs 'from' before it to show the starting value; using 'to' without 'from' does not form the required range.
Why 'of' and 'for' are wrong: 'of' does not pair with 'to' to indicate a range, and 'for' indicates purpose or duration rather than a change between two values.
