He is serious _____ visiting Islamabad.
The correct preposition to use with 'serious' followed by a gerund (verb in -ing form) is 'about'. The phrase should be 'He is serious about visiting Islamabad.' None of the options A (Of), B (For), or C (To) are correct in this context. Since 'about' is not provided as an option, the question as given is flawed. However, among the given options, none is correct, but the closest correct preposition in standard English usage is 'about'. Therefore, the question should be corrected to include 'about' as an option, and the correct answer should be 'about'. Since 'about' is not an option, the best course is to correct the question by adding 'about' as an option and marking it as the correct answer.
