C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct phrase is 'replace X with Y' - you put something new in place of something old. While 'replace by' is sometimes used, 'replace with' is the more standard and clear construction when indicating substitution. The preposition 'by' is less common and 'at'/'of' are incorrect in this context.
