Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. We have been playing since 4 o’clock.

  • The preposition "since" is used to indicate a starting point or a specific time from which an action or state has been ongoing.
  • In this sentence, "since" is correctly used to convey that the action of playing started at 4 o'clock and has continued up until the present time.
  • The use of "since" is appropriate to express the duration of the activity.

Therefore, the sentence with correct usage of a preposition is:

We have been playing since 4 o’clock.
