__________ clothes I gave him money.
Answer: D
The preposition is Besides: Besides clothes I gave him money.
Besides means "in addition to": the speaker gave him clothes and, in addition, money.
Beside, without the s, means "next to" (sit beside me), which makes no sense here; the two are a classic confusion. Among means "in the middle of a group", and by expresses means or agent. None of them conveys addition.
A simple test: if "in addition to" can replace the word, write besides; if "next to" can replace it, write beside.
