Explanation
Why "with" is correct:
In English, the phrasal verb "to part with [something]" is a fixed idiom used when you give up possession of something, especially something you would prefer to keep.
Part with: Used for objects, possessions, or money (e.g., "He couldn't part with his old car").
Part from: Usually used when talking about separating from people (e.g., "She was sad to part from her friends").
Therefore, the most appropriate word that fits in the blank is ‘with’.
