B Correct answer
Explanation

The preposition 'for' is used to indicate the reason or cause for an action, especially with verbs like pardon, forgive, or blame. 'Pardon someone for their lies' means to forgive them because of their lies. 'To' would indicate direction, 'of' would indicate possession or origin, neither of which fits this context.
