C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct preposition is 'of' because we use the idiomatic expression 'sick of' to mean tired of or annoyed by something. 'Sick by' and 'sick from' would imply illness caused by something, while 'sick with' typically refers to having an illness. The context shows annoyance at a poor essay, not physical illness.
