Correct Answer:
C. About
Explanation:
The correct answer is About because the phrasal verb 'care about' means to feel concern, affection, or a sense of responsibility for something.
- About: This is the correct choice. When expressing emotional investment or protective consideration toward an abstract concept, cause, or the global ecosystem, the verb 'care' relies on the preposition 'about'.
- Incorrect Options:
- Of / In: These are incorrect. Combining 'cares of' or 'cares in' creates an invalid phrasal verb combination that fails to convey structural or semantic meaning.
