Solution(By Examveda Team)

The prepositions that are generally used with 'absent' are 'from' and 'in'.
"absent from" would indicate "should be there but is not". For example - The student is absent from school today.
"absent in" would indicate "this trait/element etc." is not a part of something. For example - Fear of death is absent in many African religions.
