C Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase 'proof of' is the correct preposition combination when we need evidence supporting something. We use 'of' to show what the proof relates to - here, proof that supports his story. 'To' would indicate direction, 'by' would indicate method, and neither fits grammatically.
