D Correct answer
Explanation

The verb 'marry' is transitive and takes a direct object without a preposition. We say 'she married him' not 'she married to him' or 'she married by him'. The 'married to' form is only used in the passive 'is married to' construction. Therefore no preposition is needed here.
