B. below

C. beneath

D. Above

Answer:

Option A. Under

The river flows under the bridge.

Explanation:

• A preposition is a word utilized to link things, pronouns, or expressions to other words inside a sentence.

• They function to associate the individuals, objects, time, and areas of a sentence.

• Prepositions are the connectors of nouns, pronouns, and phrases to other words in a sentence.

• These words are placed before a noun or a pronoun to show the relation with the person or thing denoted by it and thus they are called relational words.

• We use the preposition 'below' to mean at a lower level or layer than.

• We use the preposition 'beneath' to mean underneath to be hidden, covered, or protected.

• We use the preposition 'through' to mean moving in one side and out of the other side (an opening, channel, or location).

• The preposition 'under' means below (something covering or protecting).

• We use the single preposition "under" to mean that one thing is at a lower level than another and that the other thing is directly above it.

• For instance, an object on the floor is under the bookshelf.
• Here it means that a bridge is made upon the river to let it flow under the bridge.

Therefore, the final and most appropriate preposition to be filled in the blank is option A. under. i.e.

The river flows under the bridge.
