A
to
B
over

none
Explanation and memory cue

The verb 'make' when used to mean 'force someone to do something' is followed by the base form of the verb without 'to'. Therefore, the correct phrase is 'Don't make me hurt you.' None of the prepositions 'to', 'over', or 'at' are correct in this context. The option 'none' correctly indicates that no preposition is needed. Hence, the correct answer is D ('none').
