A
with
B
for
C
to
D
of
Correct Answer: D
Choice D is the best answer. While "myriad" can be used as an adjective, when used as a noun in the structure "a myriad," it is followed by "of."
Choice A is incorrect because "myriad with" is not standard usage. Choice B is incorrect because "myriad for" is not standard usage. Choice C is incorrect because "myriad to" is not standard usage.
