He is abhorrent ____ dowry system.
Answer: D
The preposition keyed is of: 'He is abhorrent of dowry system.'
Abhorrent has two senses. Used of a person who feels the hatred, meaning 'feeling strong hatred or disgust for', it is followed by of, as in the phrase abhorrent of found in the preposition lists of standard grammar books; here it says that he hates the dowry system. In its commoner modern sense, 'hateful to someone', it takes to (the practice is abhorrent to him), but to is not among the options.
For, at and on are not used after abhorrent in either sense.
