(A) in
(B) with
(C) for
(D) about

The answer to the above questions is option D. Is option B or C acceptable to native speakers?

No. We say that we are concerned about something.

 

[probus]

It depends what you mean by acceptable. I agree with emsr2d2 that D is best. I'd understand B and C but consider their usage inferior. A would baffle me.
