Answer :

This question is based on prepositions.

Cambridge English Dictionary defines "preposition" as " in grammar, a word that is used before a noun, a noun phrase, or a pronoun, connecting it to another word."

Cambridge English Dictionary defines "for" as "because of or as a result of something."

Cambridge English Dictionary defines "about" as "on the subject of, or connected with."

From the above definitions we can see that the preposition "about" is more suitable to this sentence than the preposition "for."

So, the correct sentence is :

He boasted about his car.
