Good morning.
Answer:
D. Afternoon
Explanation:
Choices A, B, and C alike are nouns. As we all know nouns include: a person, a place, or a thing. They also include, "objects." Every prepositional phrase has a noun, which would be the object of the preposition. We can see that D. afternoon is not a noun. It is an adverb.
Why?
Because adverbs identify: Who, What, When, Where, and Why. The word, "afternoon," falls under the, "when," category, thus it is not an object of a preposition.

But the given answer was incorrect, that’s why I wanted to know if there’s other answer other than afternoon
Hmm. That's weird. Did they give you a sentence? is there more to the question than you gave?
