A
I speak of this school with reverence, for the good it has done
💡 Explanation:
The sentence bears the error of preposition. The usage should be 'with reverence' and not 'for reverence'. We talk of something with reverence (respect). This option rectifies the error. 'Speak ….with reverence' is the right expression.
