B Correct answer
Explanation

When placing a blanket on someone, 'over' is the correct preposition because it implies covering the person. 'Above' suggests being at a higher level but not necessarily covering. 'Along' means moving in a constant direction on. 'Over' best conveys the action of covering the sleeping child with a blanket.
