A Correct answer
Explanation

The verb 'acquit' is typically followed by the preposition 'of' when referring to charges or accusations. 'Acquitted of fraud charges' means formally declared not guilty of those specific charges. 'Acquitted from' and 'acquitted with' are not standard collocations in legal English.
