C. at

D. to

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The correct preposition to use in this sentence is for. The sentence should read: "The doctor gave me a prescription for my cough." This construction indicates the purpose or intended treatment of the prescription, which is for the cough.

The other options do not fit contextually:
B. "The doctor gave me a prescription with my cough." (Incorrect)
C. "The doctor gave me a prescription at my cough." (Incorrect)
D. "The doctor gave me a prescription to my cough." (Incorrect)
