Answer:
Prepositions are words that indicate relationships with the other words in the sentence. Possessive form of preposition is used to convey who or what something/someone belongs to or is a part of.
Let's look at the usage of various alternatives in the option as preposition of possession:
by : It is used to identify the agent performing an action
with : It is generally used with objects, materials, animals, accents, and physical characteristics; usually used as "with + adjective/noun"
from : It is used to indicate source or origin of something or someone
of : It is used to show possession of a place (city/country), people or for possessive pronouns; usually used as "of + noun/possessive pronoun"
Upon reading the sentence in the question, we understand that the speaker reminded the other person the promise that she had made. The promised was hers and therefore the suitable preposition here is "of".
Thus, the correct complete sentence is:
I reminded her OF her promise.
