Looks like you're asking us to do your homework?

Which do you think is the right/wrong answer and why?
That way, we can more easily understand why you may be having a problem and be better able to help.

Best Regards

I think b is correct because as far as I know "along" is used with "with".

If a) included "with" what would have been your answer?
a), b) or both?
