over

no preposition
B
Correct answer
Explanation
'Towards' denotes a movement to something. 'Upon' is used to denote a state of touch through motion. Over is incorrect. While this is true, one can be over 18 to get a voter I.D., the sentence implies that one must be at least 18 to get it. As the sentence is written, towards is the most grammatically correct preposition.
