A Correct answer
Explanation

'Preferable' is an adjective that takes the preposition 'to' when making comparisons. The structure is 'X is preferable to Y'. Using 'than' is incorrect because 'preferable' already contains the comparative meaning. Options C and D are unnecessarily wordy and grammatically incorrect.
