D Correct answer
Explanation

The adjective 'enthusiastic' is correctly followed by the preposition 'about' when expressing excitement or interest in something. 'Enthusiastic about' is the standard and correct prepositional usage. 'Enthusiastic with', 'in', or 'on' are all incorrect and non-standard. Therefore, no improvement is needed.
