A
to
B
for

of
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

The correct preposition to complete the phrase 'I am glad _________ your success' is 'for.' The idiomatic and grammatically correct expression is 'I am glad for your success,' which means you are happy about someone's success. The option 'to' is incorrect here because 'glad to' is typically followed by a verb (e.g., 'glad to hear'), not directly by a noun phrase like 'your success.'
