C Correct answer
Explanation

When expressing happiness or satisfaction ABOUT something, the preposition "with" or "about" is typically used. However, here "by" introduces the agent (the source) of the treatment - they were happy because of (by) the treatment given. "Of" shows cause, "for" shows purpose, and "on" is grammatically incorrect.
