Explanation

The phrasal verb 'pass off' means to happen or be conducted successfully. 'The event passed off without any untoward incident' is a standard expression for events occurring without problems. Other prepositions don't form correct phrasal verbs with 'pass' in this context. 'Pass of' and 'pass on' have different meanings, while 'pass away' means to die.
