Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. The noun "fascination" is typically followed by "with" when referring to a strong interest in a subject.
Choice B is incorrect because "fascination of" usually refers to the quality possessed by the object, not the person's feeling. Choice C is incorrect because "fascination for" is less standard than "with." Choice D is incorrect because "fascination about" is not standard usage.
