The correct word to be filled in the blank is 'about'. So the sentence will be written as:

I don't know what they were arguing about but I could hear angry voices.

Explanation:

As a rule we use prepositions 'with', about', and 'over' something.
'With' is used when we are arguing with someone. 'Over' is used when we are arguing over something. Since in this case, the subject 'they' were neither arguing with any person nor over anything; the best option is 'about'.


varmainsightp4me24: Couldn't it be "on" . The sentence would be then i don't know what they were arguing on but i could hear angry voices
upenderjoshi28: No, 'on' should not be used.
rvaid799: Couldn't it be 'for'.The sentence would be then i don't know what they were arguing for but i could hear angry voices
upenderjoshi28: No, 'for' should also not be used; I have explained it in the explanation part!
