B Correct answer
Explanation

The preposition 'by' indicates a deadline or time limit. 'I will reach home by nine o' clock' means the speaker will arrive at or before 9:00. 'After' would mean arriving later than 9:00, 'for' suggests purpose, 'with' indicates accompaniment, and 'from' shows origin - none of which fit the temporal context.
