B Correct answer
Explanation

When expressing strong desire or craving for something, especially negative traits like greed, we use the preposition 'for'. 'Greedy for money' means having an excessive desire for wealth. 'To' indicates direction, 'of' suggests possession, and 'on' indicates surface - none of which correctly express the object of greed.
