A Correct answer
Explanation

The preposition "about" is correct because the phrase "knowledge (viii) _____ man" requires the preposition that connects "knowledge" to its topic/content. Standard English idiom is "knowledge ABOUT something" (information/understanding of). "Around" and "round" suggest physical proximity, and "for" would indicate purpose/benefit - none fit the context of learning/understanding man.
