your answer is......



(c) on


JaGo19: Actually, the best option would have been 'upon'. But since there isn't any option as such, so 'on' is the correct answer. By and for doesn't go with this sentence.
JaGo19: Or else you can even keep it blank. both ways correct.
JaGo19: 'by' doesnt make any sense.
