Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. with.

Let's see the use of the preposition 'with':

  • Used to indicate being together or being involved.
  • Used to indicate "having".
  • Used to indicate "using".
  • Used to indicate feeling.
  • Used to indicate agreement or understanding.

As per the context of the sentence, the timebound eating habits combined with a strict food plan comprise a diet. Therefore, the preposition 'with' is the correct choice here.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1 i.e. with.
