A Correct answer
Explanation

'For' is the correct preposition to indicate duration of time. 'He worked in this school for five years' specifies the length of employment. 'By' indicates deadline, 'after' shows sequence, 'with' shows accompaniment, and 'from' indicates origin - none express time duration.
