C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct preposition is 'for' because we use the phrasal verb 'account for' which means to explain or justify something. 'Account about', 'account in', and 'account of' are not correct phrasal verbs in English. The phrase 'account for' is commonly used in formal contexts when someone needs to explain their actions.
