A. about

B. against

C. to

D. of

Answer: Option D

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The word "complained" is often followed by the preposition "of" when you are specifying what someone is complaining about.

Think of it like this: You are expressing the cause or reason for the complaint.

* Option A: about While "about" can sometimes follow "complain," it's less direct and usually used when talking more generally.
* Option B: against "Against" means to be opposed to something or someone, which doesn't fit the context of expressing displeasure with misbehavior.
* Option C: to "To" is used to indicate the recipient of the complaint (e.g., "They complained to the manager"). This question is about the reason of complaining and not to whom they are complaining .

So, "They complained of your misbehavior" means they were unhappy and voiced their concern regarding your poor behavior.

    This question is wrong.
    Answer should be OF instead of against,
    COMPLAIN AGAINST is use for a person.
    COMPLAIN OF is used for a thing.
